I had buffed a Damascus blade until you could hardly see the lines. I heard I can dip it into a solution to bring back out the original look. Can someone fill me in on the whole method for doing this? Thanks:les:
I submerge mine in a 50% ferric chloride 50% distilled water for about 6 minutes, then rinse in running water then clean with a tooth brush and baking soda then hand buff with 0000 steel wool.
At Radio Shack look for "Archers Etchant" its computer board etchant , when i went and got some I asked for the Ferric Chloride and they had no idea what i was talking about lol, i eventually found it on a top shelf.
