White vinegar for a grey haze. The cold formula is best for black or blue. Be sure to get the Steel Black!

Reading this and given that I have some scrap metal in the form of straight razors (GDs), I will try to use ferric chloride and experiment with the saturation, temperature and exposure length.... I believe it's commonly used for damascus etching, I used it for PCB etching, so no doubt it will work.
Gunblack or steel black is obviously a sound choice.. probably the easiest and safest too.As the time passes, so we learn.

Looks pretty the handle! For what is the loop? Should the Henkotsu still hang and ripe? Will it be better and sharper?
