So living in N. Ireland it impossible to get these stencils. But I contacted your supplier and within a very short time they where in my mail box. Thanks for that. I haven't had the courage to use them yet but will soon. To be fair to you, this is the most most helpful video I have seen yet. I stamp most of my knives but have some that I made before I got stamps. So my buddy wants 1 of my old knives but with a logo. So I have to etch the logo. Thanks for sharing this, very helpful to me.

I just started making knives and am learning a lot from your videos. Thank you

Thank you for posting. Very informative. I've learnt a great deal. Stunning logo and the silver looks classy.

Amazing tutorial!!! Can't wait to order stencils and give this a try! Thanks!

Thanks for the video, your knife and logo looks fantastic. I am just getting into knife making and really appreciate this tutorial

thanks for this. love the finish and logo. i'm inspired mate. i want to be getting my mark on knives from day 1... i'm half way through making my 1st knife!!!!

That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip...Awesome...Take care...Rod (the silver looks great)

Thanks for putting together the list of supplies, info etc. That alone is worth a like.

Great job looks awesome very impressed

Good looking knife, and you’ve given me what I need to start etching! Thanks, and I enjoyed the video!

That logo is bad ass bro. Just got in to knife making. I am really considering getting a stencil made. Just have to come up with a design. Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful!!!

Great job, great tutorial. You could switch out your DC for AC after the deep etch and clean up then put black inside at the bottom, now that'd be badass! Looks great already, I'm just more into the raw combat, half oxide a few scratches and an 80 grit finished grind in some differentially heat treated D2 with black denim saw tooth micarta... ;)

Thanks for your help

Great video, beautiful blade man. I'm just getting into knife crafting and have just worked out a logo for myself, can i use a car battery to etch? Also I heard mixing salt and vinegar works well. Would you recommend? Also, totally agree that the silver etch looks great (better imo) Keep up the good work mate!

Many people who do this for a living will have an adjustable power supply and use vinyl stencils. They also use a special electrolyte which is more conductive and not as corrosive as sodium chloride (often copper nitrate solution).

Looks really great.

Great video, thanl you! I'd also like to give some advice to you. Your lamp reflects a lot on the table, you can change this real quick and easily by just putting some sandwich paper or pan liner over it secured with a rubberband or tape. Again: Great video!

Great info, and I really appreciate all of your videos. You have definitely helped me out a lot. I will say however that I have never had a worse customer service experience in my life than when I tried working with Ernie... We went back and forth a few times just trying to get a design together before he told me he was unwilling to help me (even just a simple line of text, he flat out refused to provide)... I even called him to find out if there was a miscommunication or if I had come off wrong in the email. He was rude, and I have figured out how to do this without him getting a penny from me. Thanks again for your videos brother, God bless you too!

this was good ..very good "diy detail"

Awesome work! Beautiful makers mark! I like the silver look also. If you want it black, after you have etched it, switch the positive and negative cables and etch again and it will blacken it, it works for my stencil etchings.... Have a good one!!!

You could probably use a small amount of ferric chloride on it to darken it too.

Mark Noble How did you make the small notches near the spine of the blade?

Very nice etch.

Great video. Could you do this with a car battery and jumper cables and the homemade contact bit?

Well done! Thanks. :)

What gave your etch that nice texture?

man your knives look good

I like the silver as well.

I actually don't do leather right now. only kydex at the moment. But I'm charging $120.00 with an extra $10.00 for the burl wood. Just let me know if you would like to order! My number is on my website if you would like to give me a call!

will this method work on all steels, like 440c and damascus?

that really cam out great

To be honest I was sceptical about the result but it turned out just great.. Nice and precise job.. Thank you

I want to do this on a brass ring, will it work?

Well done.

what type paper to use for image transfer and where to buy it.

I'd like to do this on a Gerber knife I got a while back, but the blade has a black finish on it. Would this method still work, or does the finish block the flow of electricity?

wat grit is that belt on your sanding machine

Could you not put silver foil inbetween the blade and clip? To save any scratches or will that affect the connection?

Good vid. Check out your local sign/banner shop. They can cut out adhesive vinyl stencils for you. It shouldn't cost more than $30 for 11x17 sheet full of 1/2" logos....These stencils he and a lot of others are using seem funky.

Nice job on that

clean the logo material with ultrasonic?

where did you get your stencil

Thanks for the helpful video! What kind of sander is that and how much was it? I am looking for a better sander/grinder for my knife making. Any info helps!

What if you use a magnet after you wipe it off would that help?

You definitely have an incredible talent , I just wish you did leather sheath work. I'm not a fan of Kydex and I would rather pay more for leather any day. Keep up the work my friend. I subbed and liked , I will check back at a later date when you do leather. I'm sure you would be talented with leather as well. Peace

WELL DONE

Also, would you recommend etching before or after heat treat?

@Dailyartpallette

Definitely after one would say

What was the electric current you used?

Who made your stencil I wanna contact him and have him make me some. What did he charge you for your Mark.

Personally I appreciate you taking your time. It's like people are in too much of a hurry to watch a whole video or too lazy to fast forward. Good work.

Hi, have you experimented with salt in white vinegar (spirit vinegar, acetic acid) rather then salt in plain water? The process is much quicker, about half the time, so your templates probably won't suffer as much damage and will probably last longer. The etching depth using white vinegar is quite deep very quickly and the profile remains sharp. Just a thought for more research. All the best, Gordon.

awesome!

Nice!

Where can you buy stencils to do this?

where did you aquire the stencles?

Will you post a link to where you got you logos from please thank you and great video

Very nice work. I think the most important takeaway is, after dipping into salt water, dab it on a napkin, so that excess liquid won't spill outside the logo. I have seen people doing similar things, but with too much liquid; which spoils the logo, because it spreads outside the edges of the logo. Thanks for the video.
