I have cleaned up a few blades and in the process also cleaned the coloring out of the etching. I can still see the etching but I would really like to get some of the darkness back in there. Does anyone have any ideas?

Derek,
Stop on by!
I have a few tricks for adding color and gold plating in the letters.
ONE is rub on gold leafing and using renaissance wax to remove what's excess on the tang. The other is to use metal paint, and use a razor to scape the excess that sits on the tang.
(I'd post a picture, but my scanner is crapping out on me :rant:)
