nice.I've always been scared of damaskus.afraid I would ruin an expensive piece of metal.those look great.have you already etched the blades?

[Jermdog01]

looking good Sir

I have to agree with paintman on screwing up a pricey bar of steel maybe when the skills are there I will try Damascus

looks like you are close to the finish line keep us posted

Thanks

[Kevin Smith]

It's really easy guys, I did a 4 to 1 mix of ferric cloride and distilled water , don't be scared, if you screw up just sand and repeat.

[paintman]

lol I wasn't talking about messing up the etch,I was talking about screwing up the whole thing

I just bought some yesterday at radio shack, they've raised the price on it. It's good stuff though.
