Very nice. How did you get rid of the etch, and is that patina forced? Wish mine was looking like that.
I used Flitz to remove the etch. Then I dip the blades into a Brass tarnishing solution which is made by a company named Antique Hardware. This makes an instant dark and even patina. I then rub the blade with fine steel wool which takes off much of the darkest part of the patina. Then I start using it which rubs off a lot of the patina.Very nice.
