Etching recommendation

This steel can be etched with ~30% sulfuric acid or ~33% hydrochloric acid.
Sulfuric acid works best if the blade is sanded up to max grit 2000.
With hydrochloric acid, you can polish the blade to a high gloss beforehand for a good result. 

Depending on your preference, you can lightly polish again after etching or finish with fine sandpaper.
