A friend has supplied me with a piece of damascus from Baker Forge for a custom build for him. He wants a black etch on the 1084 in the mix but balks at buying a gallon of Gator Piss from Baker Forge. I have in the past used lemon juice, ferric chloride or heated vinegar to etch the few damascus pieces that I have used or to etch a hamon in a piece of W2 and always hade an etch that came out somewhere on the gray scale. Any suggestions for a jet black etch would be appreciated.
