Etch esee logo after stripping?

[Jdreg]

So I strip the black coating off my esee 6 and to late realize I may want to etch the logo. The tutorials i find and say to etch before removing the coating. Do I have any etching options left
Thanks

The only possible ways I can think of would be to last l lady some painters tape and cut it with an exacto knife to match the logo or
put down some nail polish in the logo then etch around it for a reversed etch, where the lettering would be clean steel and the scales to sharpening notch area of the ricasso would be etched.

The second option sounds like it would look pretty cool if it worked out for you cleanly.

That's all I can come up with for now, I will try to think on this some...
