And yet another gunong

Exceptional catch! Congratulations!
Very good cleaning as well.
However, I find the etching too strong. If it were mine, I would give the blade a polish to grit 1000, so that the patern would be faintly visible.

I understand and agree. I increased the contrast in the picture so the pattern would be more visible. In person the pattern is much lower contrast.

The blade was very rough and I was out of several grades of abrasive paper.

I will polish further and do another light etch.

Thanks
