This is a fully updated guide on how I acid stone wash my knives. The stone wash finish is one that I like to use a lot on my knifes because A.) I think it looks good and B.) I feel like it wears very well on a hard use knife. If yall got something out of this stone washing tutorial, please let me know in the comments below!

Good video, I use the same process and surprise surprise I got it from your previous video lol. I would also like to point out that the part of the blade that did not harden during the heat treat is always much lighter in color when etched. I find that usually have to sand with 2500 grit on the spine to make the darker part blend with then lighter non hardened etch. I personally like my stuff as uniform as I can get it. Thanks for the video and I'm really enjoying watching your improvement process as time goes on. Good work.

I just finished a blade and was going to stone wash it today. I built a similar rig to yours but used 4 casters and the caps against the casters to hold it centered. I built the etching machine per your instructions and ordered the stencils as well. I have an issue getting the stencil to seal or stick to the blade. This causes areas to that are not in the stencil sometimes. Any suggestions on that? Great content on your channel. Keep up the good work! Blessings!
@RedBeardOps

Awesome Earl, glad to hear your on your way! On my stencil I generally just tape it down as flat as I can really good to the blade. Then hit it with some sand paper after to make sure there is not "over etch"

Try adding a little vinegar to the 50/50 mix, maybe like 5-10%, it really darkens it up(I have a bottle of ferric & I just top my mix off here & there as needed). Also, you should give the ceramics a shot, ebay has cylinder ones if the HF ones are too big. I've tried a bunch & they all do about the same. I ended up just mixing them together. Keeping them really wet is the trick... Hope all is well, take it easy

I really like the look of the stone wash and have been thinking about trying it. Right now I have been working with some "free" steel, some of which is 15n20. My question is will acid etch work on 15n20 because of the high chromium content? I know in Damascus they use it as the "light" colored steel.
@RedBeardOps
@RedBeardOps 3 года назад
Hey Brian, I've only used 15n20 in damascus like you mentioned to give contrast. I don't think it will take nearly as dark of an etch as 1084. You could try it though... maybe some gun blue or something will darken it up.

Hey chuck, this should work on all high carbon steel blades. Not sure about SS haven't tried.
@CCCfeinman55
@CCCfeinman55 3 года назад
@@RedBeardOps Thanks! That’s fine, because I’m not a big fan of stainless for working knives. I prefer high carbon for its edge-holding, robust edge-keeping and ease of sharpening. The weakness is its tendency toward rust, if not kept oiled. Of course, bluing, browning or other chemical surface treatment mitigates this to some degree...and I like that. I especially like the look of the finish you’ve shown us.

I don't have a sand blast set up. That would be cool to play with. I have etched after the stone wash with decent results. If you want the mark to be darker you could hit it with the AC power right after the DC. I do that most of the time and it works out well. Just forgot to this time.

After handle material is added, and during shaping of the handle material, how do you keep from sanding off the finish on the spine and belly?
@RedBeardOps
@RedBeardOps 2 года назад
You can either use removable handle scales, or bring the spine up to a satin finish

Do you generally sharpen the edge again after the tumbling or only if its nicked? Thank you sir.

What do you recommend to start knife making, cheap steel to practice on? Wood? Or just go for it and buy the right steel?
@RedBeardOps
@RedBeardOps 3 года назад
Personally I went straight to the good steel. In the off chance I was able to produce a nice product! 1084 isn't really that expensive really.

I am curious, where is a good place to buy the ferro, and any particular brand that is best? I found some from a company called MG chemicals, but it appears to be already diluted.

ROCK question?? Does it matter what kind of rocks you use to tumble the blades with? I have a driveway full of limestone...OR...do you need harder rocks? THANKS for any help!! 🙂
@RedBeardOps
@RedBeardOps 2 года назад
I think different rocks can give you a slightly different use. Especially size. But no, I don't think it really matters that much.

do you have a video/ link describing your etching process for your makers mark?

Hey Floyd, I don't have a specific video on it, but I do etch my makers mark on all my knife builds. You can see my process in those videos.

@richardjoseph8532 2 года назад
So how do you touch-up your handle edges after fitting the scales and re-grinding the edge? Cause that obviously removes the etch and scratch...
@RedBeardOps
@RedBeardOps 2 года назад
You can leave them at a satin finish, or use removable handle scales with your design.

How would you finish the spine on a knife with this finish? Is it back to sanded or polished on the spine and handle area of tang?
@RedBeardOps
@RedBeardOps 2 года назад
A lot of times I go with a satin finish on the spine. If you want to keep the stone wash you can use removable scales.

Would doing interval soaking like you've done also periodically darken stainless as well? I always tend to use stainless, mainly Nitro-V, 14c28n or AEBL and like stonewashing my knives too, however I tend to do hour long soaks in the Ferric chloride. Cheers

That is awesome esthetically speaking, but what is the actual gain in durability when stonewashing the surface? I have been thinking of making my own (chefs knife) for quite some time, and I tend to gravitate towards the Damaskus...that is probably waay to hard for a novice though.
@RedBeardOps
@RedBeardOps 3 года назад
I feel like it shows wear better than a satin finish. Just personal preference.

I just recently found you and have been going back and watching some videos. I have a question about the stone-washed finish. After you do the stone-wash, you do your handles which removes some of that finish from the spine and none around the handle which to me (personal opinion of course) doesn't look balanced. Is there a way that you could reapply or do the handles differently? Thanks. Love your work.
@RedBeardOps
@RedBeardOps 3 года назад
Hey Mike, one option would be to use removable handle scales. You would put the handle scales on the knife, shape them, take them off, stone wash, and put back on. You could also try something like this - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CbOj-k7M1us.html
