Etching ESEE knives

[Allsmiles]

Anyone beside me etch their ESEE's to make the logos deeper? I'm using Radio Shack circuit board etcher and a little time. Process is very easy and turns out good as long as you keep solution off blade edge. I use cold blue pen on light colored blades and color filled my Laser Strike.

Yup, I would hate to lose the logos when the powder coat wears off.
I have a 4 that was stripped and polished, and it is a bummer that the engraving is gone.

You can chemical etch them like I did or do electric etching with salt water that is super quick. I didn't go super deep; but the logos will be there long after the powder coat is gone. They are about twice as deep as when I got them and can make them deeper later if I want. I think that you can etch any of the blades that have a coating to enhance the markings. I also saw on YouTube where they were custom stencils for etching if you want to go that route.

If I didn't think I would get sued by ESEE, I would make you an etching stencil. Would only take me about 15 min.
