blade etch

Post by XBMX »

How can I darken the Blade Etch on my knife. I can see the factory etch but it's very faint and difficult to read, I'd like to darken it. Thanks

A better place to post this subject is probably in the forum on knife repair and restoration. viewforum.php?f=37

Member "hardman" has a technique for replacing color in etches, that he has posted on the Case Collector's Club Forum where he is also a member. Send him a PM and ask him to post how to do it here.

BTW here's a thread debating the pros and cons of darkening an etch. viewtopic.php?t=56335

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
