New but addicted!

Hello, I have lurking on these pages and reading what I can. I have completed 10-12 knives using prepared blades, no work on my part, just handle and finish work.

I have a couple of questions.

I do not have any access to heat treating equiptment but i would like to find a good damascus hunting blade that will not break the bank?

Also, I am very interested in the etching process, I would love to mark some of my completed blades, I am currently making the electro etcher and I would like to know what it would take, money, to make the stencils, I could not find any prices.

thanks for all of your help.
