Ok. For some reason I’m not finding it on their website. Do you have a link?

good looking folder; to me it still looks like it has a bluish tinge or something. maybe just one of those things that's difficult to capture.

Of course, I had to make it mine, so the clip went for a 5 minute acid dip.

What kind of acid are you using? That looks great. I think you just cost me some money

It's actually Radioshack PCB Etchant Solution. It's what folks dip knives into and then stone wash for that acid-washed look. You can also use this solution to etch the logos of a knife, before you strip it, to help preserve the logos.

Thanks for the info. Do you have to use a specia container?

Any container that's not metal should work ok as this solution reacts with metal. I just use the cap of a spray paint can and a q-tip to apply if I'm etching. Acid dipping, I just drop it down into the bottle for a few minutes.
