hello together
the etching of Wootz I use ferric III chloride and proceed as follows:
Polishing the blade with sandpaper to 600
Clean the blade with soap water
cleaned with acetone
Try concentration of the etching agent.
Coat the entire blade
stop immediately, cleaned with water
repeat this process repeatedly until correct score is ok.
I had already wootz, which was dark gray now!
More dilute etchant. this wootz was closing very bright! was an Indian Kard blade.
