Acid etching benchmade 940

[The_bluh]

Hello guys! I'm showing off my benchmade 940 I dipped it in ferric chloride.
Yes yes let me say something before people start shouting out of their lungs, why did I do this to a $150 knife. The knife was already old and the Green finish on the handle was wearing off. And had a lot of scratches on the blade. So I did some etching! Used nail polish for the design.
Please let know how it looks, like or dislike!
Thank you my fellow knife friends!

Dig it! Scales look very 3D. Is there real texture or is this illusion?

 

[The_bluh]

Real texture, the handle got cooked more so it has more of a grip. Blade you can feel it but not as much.

Nice. I have to say, the mods fit the style of the knife very well.

Maybe later on today I'm going to do the same to my Keyshaw leek and if I do I'll post it here. I have to sand it down first because the black coating. Wish me luck !
