Etched monster in shokwood scales
This is a 17/16 monster razor, forged in SC145 steel. It was differentially heat treated, and etched afterwards. The etching in hot vinegar looked wonky so I decided to just dunk it in ferric chloride instead, and figure out how to properly etch this steel with some scrap. I have seen pics of it etched properly, and it shows nice patterns on the surface. At least, it does when etched properly. The ferric chloride makes the edge black, the soft bits grey, and the rest in between. This leads to a rather nice blackness gradient.
The scales are zombienight shokwood, which is purple and green acrylic, with impregnated burl cap.
