Tooln's first etch

I've been waiting for a stencil so I can etch my blades. They came today and here are my first 2 attempts. The one on the right is my 2nd try and it turned out a lot better. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the same knife or a different one on my next stencil. This was done on a test blade.

That is cool looking, been researching stencil and etch, now just cold stamp. Stamps are expensive for basic design.

I also thought about a stamp. But cost turned me away, also stamping without a press isn't my idea of getting quality.
 
What etch machine ? I needed to get something but not sure what make
Kind of a home made unit. I used a dc power supply set to 10 amps and 18 volts. I had a stencil made and used vinegar and salt solution.
