Steel is etched with nitric acid.

Could anyone please post how to etch a blade using lemon juice. I also need to know how to nutralize the blade afterwards. I know it's been posted before but I'm not sure what post it was in . Thanks a lot.................Malcolm

It has been done; for centuries.

Has anybody thought of perhaps coating the blade in wax or some other covering, scraping some kind of design into it, then etching the blade so that the design is etched onto the blade? The rambling thoughts of my mind hit on that at some point and i was wondering if anyones tried it or thought of it.
