    This is my first attempt at acid etching. Really like how it turned out. Let me know what you guys think. And any tips that you guys may have. The drips were done with wax.

    Sweet. What acid did you use, and how long did it take?

    It looks great. I only wish I could find a Walmart with the blue Sprint run.

    Nice! I think I have an all stainless-handled kershaw that is laying around. Maybe do just the handles and leave the blade alone.
