Man I love this channel. The editing is great, the camera work is amazing, and the content is out of this world. Congrats on 100k man!

[@JeremySiers]

Thanks 😊

[@gabi-sw8zw]

fun tip: do not put ferric chloride in aluminum containers. it will begin to boil and melt your aluminum container instantly. glass or plastic yall.

[@amonGustavo07]

Bruh who would put a chemical that’s made to dissolve aluminum in aluminum

[@Zondidjejsj]

I know that from breaking bad

[@ShahIronStudio]

And dont mix in weak glass or weak plastic containers, heat produced during reaction has to potential to break glass and melt plastic. ( speaking from experiences)

[@Firefoxtony]

Man we need more people like you. You tell us what we need to know with no messing about. And you're hilarious! Keep it up mate 👍

[@BaronVonBeef]

Acid etch is definitely my favourite finish on blades, especially when you put a mirror finish edge on them it just makes it pop

[@lefroy1]

Thanks for no overcomplicaing things. For those of us without decent knife sharpening skills/equipment, do you reckon nail polsih on the blade edge would work too?

[@rockroller888]

Alright, Congrats on 100,000 Subscribers. Now let’s see some ads on these videos!!!

[@JeremySiers]

Thanks! 😊

[@mikev4979]

Probably the nicest tenacious I’ve ever seen. Awesome vid man. 👍🏼

[@JeremySiers]

Thanks Mike 👍🏻

[@Gold_Stadt]

Thank you very much for the instructions! I tried this today on my Tenacious. I used pure Ferrochlorid for 15 minutes and produced the stonewashed effect in a plastic container with rocks I collected on my tours in the woods. I used WD40 as a liquid and shook it by hand for 5 minutes. The blade could be a little bit darker in my opinion but the stonewashed effect turned out pretty nice. I put Flytanium Ti scales and a black deep carry pocket clip in titanium on it. Finally I sharpened it with the Spyderco sharpmaker - I liked it already before in its original state but now it looks absolutely badass. Best regards from the Black Forest / South Germany!

Came across this video in my edc youtube hole...fine job sir. Really enjoyed your simple presentation. No need to be overly scientific, just fun.

Thanks 👍🏻

Saw this video and pulled the trigger - UPS left today and I stonewashed my "brand new" Gray FreeTiger FT903 afterwards ... It's even more of a beauty now👍🏼 I just subscribed to your channel!!

Nice job. You're pretty funny while giving great instructions. Hope you're still enjoying life. Hope your neighbor is well also.😆 Going to do this to some knives now. Be blessed, Leo 🦁 from San Diego ✌️.

Thanks for sharing! That was a fun one to watch. Is it weird that I impressed how well the audio sounded in the garage? lol Also congrats, you officially hit 100k, nice!

[@JeremySiers]

Thanks! Glad the audio sounded good. Might be the new mic I have been testing out. The deity D3 pro. Love it so far. Review coming soon. 👍🏻

This is badass, im starting to really get into EDC stuff, love it.

[@hificat101]

Thanks for the video. I just got an M4 Tenacious to acid etch. Also got some copper scales Im going to shipwreck for it. Im gonna look into that tumbler and media from Harbor Freight.

Excelent vid, Jeremy. Can't wait to get started on this. I do want to wait till it's about 100 here in Tampa.

[@markmatthews7323]

Can you do a review of that knife sharpener? A how to?

[@natelund2914]

What sharpener is it?

[@northseamuppet_5129]

@@natelund2914 Looks like the EdgePro Apex, good system more flexibility for angles, thin blades etc than others I've tried. I use water stones on my camp knives but for day to day the EdgePro is pretty foolproof

[@Fender66ch]

+10 for this suggestion.

[@paypatrolfactor5336]

It turn out cool looking and those scales are nice also.

[@patrick7194]

Awesome job Jeremy. Those look sweet. Any chance of a video on how you sharpen your knives? Every time I try to sharpen mine, I wind up hacking them up. Love the channel man. Keep it up.

[@JeremySiers]

Yeah, lots of knife stuff on the books. I’ll definitely do a little something on sharpening 👍🏻

[@imhogar]

Finally clear tutorial) thank you I have bad english)) So do you only use ferric chloride mix with water ? I heard in video something about acids ... But cant understand do you use it or not. Thank you

[@BiDude6205]

First time watching and i love it already

[@railerz101]

Wow. Very nice. That's what I should do to my knives.

[@wOrdTHANATOS]

Try putting pennies it there for a copper wash it looks cool on a black blade

[@winchesterinc.5643]

ORGANDONOR Explain please 🤔

[@vibeczech285]

Winchester INC. if you add copper to your acid wash the copper will bind to your blade giving it a copper coat. You might want to look into it a bit more as it does have a slightly different process to normal acid washing

[@murrayannandale]

I did that. Even put a shit ton of copper in. Keeps rubbing straight off

[@vibeczech285]

Laeveld Paraatheid are you using pennies or actual copper. If your just using pennies it’s gonna take a lot of pennies and a lot of time...

[@effyou128]

Pennies are not copper anymore haven't been for a while!

[@lloyddotimas6302]

Dude that's the most awesome tutorial here in youtube! Ever!

[@arigonzalez7083]

Alright alright, thanks for the lesson. Heading to garage now, 106 degrees right now in Laredo, Tx.

[@bobbyhempel1513]

I've got citric acid it works well; I just leave the piece soaking over night to get a deep charcoal grey finish.

Nice and love that sharpening to mirror. Do you sharpen for other people?

[@mikenichol4040]

first video I've seen of yours and I instantly subscribed. Great video. Love how you give diy as well as money bought tips. Good to have both as I'm just starting out restoring blades and hopefully eventually forging my own. I actually have a knife I think this would look awesome on so thanks.

[@winelion1318]

Always great content, and the production (video editing, music, etc) is 1st class. All that and you have a beautiful home- I really dig your style! If there's one thing I look forward to each week, it's something from you. And if there's nothing new, well, I replay one of the previous ones.

[@JeremySiers]

Should have a late man shit Monday coming out tomorrow. 👍🏻

[@pdsawyer]

I second Mark Mattews comment below. Could you do a full video on your knife sharpener please? Where you can get it, tips etc on how to get a really good edge on your blade would be much appreciated. Keep up the great work :)

[@dougbecker683]

Nice video mate. To stop the oxidation reaction of ferric chloride, I use glass cleaner with ammonia. 😁

[@andrewjfranek3004]

I wonder if covering the edge of the blade with nail polish and then tape would help protect it better?

[@vernelb931]

Hi Jeremy! Great video, I subscribed! I was wondering, if you put a good amount of nail polish all along the cutting edge, would it still get very dull? Never tried anything like this myself, so just wondering if there might be a way to save the edge. Thanks!

[@JeremySiers]

I mean....it may work, but it would be really hard and time consuming to get the line just right or it would look like crap. Only takes about 20-30min to resharpen the knife. 👍🏻

[@vernelb931]

Hello, I'm new to the carbon steel game. I recently got into throwing knives and I am currently tired of cleaning/oiling after every use. I'm considering a "forced" patina but as I research I'm seeing the Acid Etch/Stone Wash style and it looks amazing. How is the durability/resilience of the finish? With the throwing knives they are constantly colliding with each other, if I choose to do an Acid Etch will it require a refinish after a short while?
