Well, we did the test etch to see the pattern and I think it is going to turn out pretty cool. Just need to run through the grits 220, 320, 400, 600, and 800 to finished the blade to fix a few sand lines I missed the first time and to open up the pattern just a bit more.....
the real surprise here is my steel vendor labeled the 15n20 and 1084 swapped.......errr the edge was intended to be the dark etch and the spine down bright.....but in the end the forge welds turned out good and I think it will look cool in the end!
