Inspired by the many beautiful etched Esee knives shown on different forums I gave my Izula a try.
I used ammoniumpersulfate, 1:5 dilluted in water.
After about 6 hours etching in room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) I think it's deep enough.
I took some pictures before , during and after the process.
And now I'd like some opinions.... does it need some more etching, or is this deep enough?
I'm afraid if I etch it more I'll loose the fine details.
Anyway... here's the pictures.
Before:
During:
After 6 hours:
(the light part on the choil is wear from the sheath)
Detail of the serial number:
Detail of the ant logo:
Detail of the ant logo before etching for comparison:
