Over the weekend I spent some time with my Laser Strike and some chemicals. The solution basically eats away at metal. By dropping it on the laser engraving on the blade of the knife, it deepens the etching further into the metal.

As it does this it also turns the engraving a darker grey/black color, so against the black powder coating of the blade it is hard to photograph. Below is the results of the same process, done on my ESEE-5.

Even against the green coating, it’s hard to see the depth of the etching.

The next step is to use paint stripper to remove the black coating from the Laser Strike. That will get done within the next few days!
