hello, quick question, i would like to acid etch my spyderco delica which has VG10 steel, and i wanted to ask

What is the best way to acid etch VG10 steel? what type of acid do you use? what dilution? and for how long?

my goal with the etch is to make the knife dark and non reflective to light.

i have heard of using ferric acid, but some people say it's better to use Muriatic Acid? some people say to use both ferric and muratic acid?

what do you guys think? what is the best acid that you can use to etch VG10 steel and for how long should i leave it in the acid?

thank you
