Holy crap! Who'da thunk acid etching was so simple. Gotta love how this woman doesn't try to impress anyone by making simple stuff sound complicated.

[@josharaujo9589]

6 minutes. She explains this in 6 minutes while every one else takes 20 and she apologizes for taking too long. Hehe

[@TANMAN47TANMAN]

i like when people are smart

[@knice7359]

Its amazing how much you've grown since i subbed a few years ago.From enthusiastic knife reviewer,to badass knife maker.Keep goin,your an inspiration.

[@bellwitch007]

I have been subbed to you for a few years and it's cool to see how far you have grown from reviewing a few blades to making your own customs. Kudos!!

[@Redbellynelly]

Awesome, succinct tutorial, with great results. Can't wait to try this on a blade.

[@stevemartin4696]

If you used a narrower vessel you'd use less etching fluid.

[@cdothill]

The video I have been looking for. Thank you!

[@Bonzulac]

"I get this at Radio Shack." Wait, what century is this?

[@Gitnardoproductions]

Exactly, every radio shack is closed down in my area

[@schonlift]

Finally another girl who bladesmiths like me. Thanks for the video.

[@HARMARSCH2]

Howdy, I'm a fellow hobby knifemaker across the atlantic, you're a rare breed. Subd!

That is some dark coffee in your Dunkin Donuts cup. ;) Reminds me of a story of a guy, a tree stand and a mountain dew can. Baaaad idea. :)

[@gokartsminibikesandmore9925]

That looks sick!...and do u etch it after the knife is all done like after u heat treat it and finish it?

[@ssrknivesandguns8741]

AWESOME BLADES!

[@colinmcnamara916]

Thanks for your help with the video 😊👍

[@Gabrulo_knifemaking]

Is it possible to use spray paint to cover the acid resistant part? I would try to make my logo on knives with acid, and with the spary paint the logo will be more definite

[@CHUNKYNUGGET666]

I sub’d you answered many of my questions!

[@Lookinformemarbles]

Cool video thanks

[@EitriBrokkr]

some 100% acetone would make the clean up a lot faster and cheaper, it is the active ingredient in nailpolish remover, they sell it by the gallon at your local hardware store around the painting stuff

[@cutelariamacedo7188]

amazing

[@canadianneo-frontiersmen6165]

Thanks for the vid!

Gonna look you up,I want to buy.

[@WELSBYROOTS]

Nice!

[@timwhite2225]

awesome, youre are really good in working with steel. sry for my bad english i am german :)

[@beastlymetaldrummer]

cool concept

[@z_ham5158]

Hello, very nice video. I have a question What steel did you use for acid etching?

[@stoneblue1795]

Subscribed!

[@thehomemadedisease9485]

Put a little baking soda in the water to neutralize the acid, just to be safe you know? Water alone will get most of it off but won't kill it completely.

[@curtiskurtzweil7949]

your very good trainer you should do teaching programs in future .:)

[@janvandenbos7085]

Very nice job, Kayla Keep it up , your so nice 👌✌💋💋

[@pinkybananas1]

I'm not even into nail etching I'm just a 20 year old girl but this is so interesting

[@michaellee5084]

will it help on 01 steel from fruit acid ?

How do you drill the hex bits

[@crudersphere8593]

Could I do the same thing using gun bluing compound?

[@Resident-cb3yz]

Nice and fast.

[@TanTan-ni4mg]

"... you guys get the point...." no pun , punned.

[@godfatherfeederfather6350]

Can that acid be used to etch a copper pan?

[@jameshodell4]

It's the poor man's damacus

[@wishboneknifes325]

Sorry to ask this question but how come u haven't protected the blade edge, Iv been a knife Smith for about 15 years and Iv seen acid destroy the edge of knives. or do regrind

[@plsniper]

Beautiful!!! Oh, and the knives too. ;) Just got my BK 16 in the mail and this is what I'll be doing to it, besides the custom walnut handle. Thank you so much for the vid. Subscribed and thumbs up!! ;)

[@marcopkiller]

You don't protect your cutting edge before etching ?

[@wishboneknifes325]

Sorry to ask this question but how come u haven't protected the blade edge, Iv been a knife Smith for about 15 years and Iv seen acid destroy the edge of knives. or do regrind 😊

[@enigmahd4806]

Please reply can you do this on a balisong trainer.

[@ameno21]

Nail polish of all things, not bad not bad.

[@Mr480junkie]

I could watch her do anything

[@awangkampung878]

Hi beauty, can use sulfric acid or not?

[@Suedzville]

Do you know if you are using nail enamel or a nail lacquer? The reason I ask is because I know that nail polish (any brand worth buying) is really expensive. If it is an enamel… you could use model paint or One Shot sign painters paint as a replacement. Much more cost effective.

[@MrCoalcracker79]

Will this product work for 154-CM? I have a Piranha Fingerlings automatic high polished blade and have tried apple cider vinegar, white vinegar and mustard. None of those products worked.

[@lindboknifeandtool]

Jaywet22 yes. I etch s30v just fine so 154 CM should etch too.

[@robhimself79]

@@lindboknifeandtool what do you recommend for making it as dark as possible with s30v? Does it pit really badly?

[@freakmean16]

What are the chemical components of the etching solution you use???And does it work with stainless also??

[@gosonegr]

+Esteban Salazar “culon” Ferric Chloride, and yes, except galvanized steel

[@bmxbetterthansex8185]

step one :get a girlfrield.step two: steal girlfriends nail polish and removerstep three: take it all back and ask her to draw the pattern cause i keep failing lolz

[@Filetokiss]

Kaila,That knife @ 0:19 how much would u charge me for that if I wanted it done in like "8 or "9?And how much would it be if I wanted some handle material added to it?What would u charge me?

[@saligoodwin4875]

Why do you only bevel / sharpen one side

[@PopsMedlong]

Where do you get your solution now that Radio Shack is gone?

[@williamporter6185]

PopsMedlong check Amazon or your local hardware store.

[@brandysigmon9066]

It's called ferrric chloride, eBay has is in powdered form and liquid.

[@LOCOLOZANO63]

Hi this is Arianna I miss you and Bailey at the apartments!!!

[@kailacumings]

LOCOLOZANO63 hey sweetie! We miss you too. Call us sometime you and bailey can have a playdate

[@whichcraftartstudios]

Won't the enchant eat away the blade edge and make the knife dull?

[@PontusNieminen]

Yes, that's why you do it before you sharpen it. Or, you can always resharpen it again.

[@ThatGuy-sf5pb]

Or you can cover the edge with the nail polish as well.

[@burtdj]

Does it work the same with with high end steels?

[@kailacumings]

burtdj as far as I know it should :) ive done it on stainless steels as well

[@ConfessorEpicness]

+burtdj many alloyed steels that are now popular with bladesmiths were originally made to be resistant to corrosive oxidation which is what this form of etching is essentially. Others can produce poisonous or explosive gases so its important to do a bit of research on the metal you are working with before you dunk it. in most cases a simple google search will give you what solution will work best for the type of metals you are working with.

[@TheTactical6string]

I thought all Radio Shacks were out of business? Do you still have one thats open?

[@kailacumings]

The Tactical 6 String I live in new Hampshire and we still have lots of radio shacks

[@TheTactical6string]

:-) Im in NH too. I just read up on it and about 1/3 are staying open as part of a SPRINT agreement I guess. Cool beans. Nice work BTW.

[@bleachedmud8723]

Just ferric chloride. Muriatic acid and peroxide works better because you get the same results and you won't screw it up too fast.

shows it too fast. whatever happened to glamour shots. i skipped to the end looking for nice images of final result. everyone knows you skip to the end first to see if video is worth sitting through. speaking from a noob perspective. for someone who's only doing this once or twice and never looking back(probably).
