DeMo 2022 Kith

A bit of acid, a q-tip, a polisher, and some elbow grease. Not too hard to put the etch back on.

I need to cut some pins, mix some epoxy, and attach the scales.
Your acid is FeCl? Is it mixed with anything?
 
I've found that G10 is unaffected by ferric chloride, so if you use G10 liners you can finish the handles on the blade and carefully place tape at the edge of the G10 and wood then apply ferric to the tang.
I use a very small paint brush and apply and wipe until it matches the spine.
this is a nice WIP you have going on Dennis.
 
Time to hand sand the handles.

I will point out a blunder. I chose these scales and cut them because they had a knot showing on both sides. I thought it would be an interesting eye catcher. Then I put a pin right through it when the handle was layed out. Look at the third pin back on the top. Pity!! Poor pin placement. My bad.

I would not have noticed that.
Looking very nice.
