Klaus, buried somewhere in the discussions of the old Forum is a complete explanation of a very simple and easily controllable method to stain a blade.
There are a lot of different methods, and personally, for a quality job, I do not like the soak method. The paste on blade method is wasteful of material, too difficult to control, and again, in my opinion, just not a good method.
The best method I am not prepared to pass on, not because it is a deep secret but because it is too potentially dangerous, and really must be demonstrated for somebody to fully understand how to use it.
See if you can find the method already published, if you cannot, get back to me, and I'll give it to you.
