i have gotten this 5/8 and cleaned it up withe a fiberglass pen on the tale(until it ran out ) and mothers mag. I am stuck on how to get the darkening at the spine before the etching, I tried blocking with tape on the etching, and using 220 with w9-40 but when no ware,, and I would lose the etching, should I just keep going at it with the mothers mag, or just renew the etching and call it a day.
also I noticed that the makers mark is on the back side of the tang, is that the norm?
