Hey fella, I have a piece if damasteel I'm working on and this is my first Damascus blade. I've read hours of Internet posts on what etchant to use and different methods. I've seen a lot of really nice Damascus blades on here, and thought I would pick your brains before I buy any solution, and get after it. Feel free to PM me if you would like. Thanks guys

Thanks randallss, I have seen this chart during my many Google searches. I was looking for some local makers input, and maybe some of the do's and donts from their many expierences. Seems like the knife thread is more of a gloating page rather than a informative place to get information, or ask questions.

I have never made a knife from Damasteel, but its been on the back burner for a while, I will ask the guys at Jantz the next time I'm in, see what they have to say about it. If they have any good advice I will post it.

so damasteel is stainless Damascus that's cool . you would not have to worry about corrosion so much. And reading the pdf the more you work it the harder it gets is that correct? I want a Blade!!
What are the plus and minus of damasteel vs carbon steel
