Thanks guys ya i wish i could get a larger piece to work with but there horns are so thin and hollow so far it doesnt leave much to work with. From the base to 3/4 of the way up the horn the material is only like a little more than 1/4" thick and that includes the rough outer layer than i had...

Thank ya. I really like working with the stuff, I just wish it easier to find and a little more thick so it was easier to work with. Thanks

Looks great!!

I got this one most of the way finished up last night, its finally cooled down enough in OK for me to get back to work!!! This is my first try with antelope horn, i really like the stuff. Its very translucent with some nice colors deep inside it. Its unfortunate that there is very little...

I have been messing with trying to darken up steel after etching today. So far i have had luck etching the blade a couple of times, lightly cleaning it off with Never Dull and then washing it off with dial soap and hot water. After this i coated the blade real heavy in oil (rem oil spray) and...

Those were both etched for 25min, then washed with dial dish soap and hot water until black stopped washing off, then they were tumbled in a industrial vibratory bowl with water and triangle ceramic media for about 20 min. I havent tried muratic acid but a nice grey finish might be nice so i...

I just use Ferric Chloride diluted one bottle of acid to one gal of water and soak until you get desired effect.

No i know the 440C blade shouldnt have any problem rusting as it sits, i had just been making a few stainless knives with a dark acid etch and i was wondering if anyone thought it might give the stainless blade a added bit of rust prevention. I have had great luck with a forced patina from...

Thanks guys, I have been taking the knives to about a 600-800 grit finish and then etching for my stainless knives. I am not sure how much pitting there is on them but i see where the concern would be Laurence. One of the ones i have recently done is my personal work knife so i will see how...
