Etch logo.....

Finally decided on what kind of knife marking system and logo to use. Went back and forth between etching or a steel stamp. In the end I figured etching gave me a cleaner look. I worked with TUS Tech to make the etching stencils and had each stencil include 2- 3/16" and 2- 3/8" sized logos plus a Gunnerblades to use for bigger blades. Here is a test sample I did yesterday......

Turned a PC power supply into the power source for the etcher, homemade etching wands using carbon motor brushes with bore cleaning patches for the liquid pads for the electrolyte chemical used to etch. Etched the dozen or so knives I had on hand, some turned out good, some not so good. The logo is a little ghosty, faint or not 100% on some of the blades, learned a few things while doing them so next time I etch a new blade it will turn out decent.
