I bought a few blank blades of the ebay and made handles for them, but while grinding the fine shape of the handle while on the knife, I also brushed knife on sides.
How can I etch it again and what should be the solution/procedure?

I've read few times, it should be done with Ferric III Chloride (Fe3Cl), but I don't know neither concentration neither degrees, how warm it should be.

If anyone got information about the acid and the procedure, I'd be more than glad to hear them.
