I saw someone try to etch AEB-L with FC once and it didn’t work, so I’m going to assume it won’t work on Magnacut, considering it’s way more corrosion resistant.
What kind of media are you using?
Hmm I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, unless your blaster is under powered.
muriatic acid is available at pool supplies or many hardware stores in the pool section. not hard to find
Yeah sorry, reading my post now, it wasn't very helpful was it. It worked to slightly darken the blade, not black like carbon steel just a matte "well worn" kinda gray look. it knocked the shiny new look off. you can also use sulphuric acid drain cleaner it etches stainless very quickly and deeply if you want a deep etch or more texture.
For what it's worth, I have etched Damasteel with diluted (50:50) muriatic acid (heated up to around 140 deg F) which got it a pretty dark gray, and then further darkened those areas with instant coffee and it turned out great. I imagine that would work on MagnaCut too.
Sadly no, I sold it a while ago and don't have any post-etch pictures
But you darkened the PMC27 but not the RWL34, correct?
Larrin, you're giving me far too much credit for being able to know which one I darkened haha! I have no idea which one it darkened; you're much more qualified to know the answer to that than I am!
