How To Hamon etching guide

[HelixKnives]

I made an in depth hamon etching guide, for anyone that's having trouble with their etch. Hamon etches were giving me headaches when I was first doing them, so I hope this video can help anyone in the same situation.

Thanks for putting this together. I hope folks learn from it.
As a brief addendum to this - I always point out to folks that you can't etch and reveal a hamon that's not there.

I remember one well known knife maker who uses “dryer sheet “ type abrasives to bring out the hamon with excellent results.

Very well done video. Have you thought of making a video about how you clay the blade?
