Thread: Can etching be renewed/restored?

Not really. You have to remove metal to get the pitting out.

As for re-etching, Joe Chandler might be able to help. I think he acid etches his blades. Also, I think Gary Alfonso knows of a laser etch outfit that can do what you are looking for.

AND then there is always good ol' Vlad, who does not swing by much any more, who always has a trick to redo something, while we all wish we could do the same...
