Anyone know of members that acid/stone wash?

[scsu74]

Long story short I purchased a BM bone collector and a BM Camp Ripley. I hate the laser marking on both, but love the steel/handles. Looking for recommendations on where to send the blades to be stone/acid washed to have the laser marking covered up. I really like the stonewashed look, but am not sure if it would cover the lasermarking. Thanks in advance!

A little pricey IMO, not to bad though

I think that media blasting the blade, then lightly stonewashing in a ceramic medium, then acid etching, then a final stone wash would probably be the most effective.

I would do it for free, but I just dont like being held accountable if someone else doesnt like it. lol. Thats why i just stick to my knives.

They usually come out like this:

Nothing beats a really dark acid wash. Nothing.

I have been wanting to do this, but I am very new to sharpeneding and I don't think I can bring back an edge as good as it was from the factory
