Hi folks,
I'm new in this forum. I wish to have some advice on hamon etching. I have a katana that has a mirror polish but doesn't have a hamon line. So I decided to use it as a cutter and do some experimenting with it. So the first thing I want to do is give it a hamon line. I have read some post about etching, but I'm looking for a simple and safe technique. I read a post on vinegar etching but I don't know if it works for creating a fake hamon in the blade. Any advice? any experiences on the subject. Thank you very much!!!!
Best regards,
