Bk4 deepen the etching.

[Kentwood33]

Well, just got my bk4 a couple days ago and couldn't stop thinking to do some modifications to it. So this was my little weekend project.
Right out of the box

Started deepen the laser engravings with a sheap 12 v battery charger

then i just soaked in epoxy remover to strip all the coating off

came out really nice and with very deep logos as i was expecting

this is how came out after finished, just added some stainless steel bolts to make it look prettier

Awesome!

When you are etching - you just put etchant on the logo area and it will only etch the lettering? The coating prevents the metal outside of the lettering from getting etched?

Your knife came out very nice!

Thank u Sir, and you rigth ,the coating will help to protect, so, just focus on the lettering and will came out just nice.

Very nice job. Is there any way to etch the logo if the coating has already been removed? Will it still work?

Probably, but a little bit more complicate, you need to tape the logos and then trace'm with a small engraver, covering all around to prevent any leaking.
