In this tutorial, I show you how to etch a custom logo of your choosing onto your knives using a battery charger and some salt water.
Ernie's Blue Lightning Stencils can be bought from his website here: erniesknives.com/knifemaker_st... - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
So living in N. Ireland it impossible to get these stencils. But I contacted your supplier and within a very short time they where in my mail box. Thanks for that. I haven't had the courage to use them yet but will soon. To be fair to you, this is the most most helpful video I have seen yet. I stamp most of my knives but have some that I made before I got stamps. So my buddy wants 1 of my old knives but with a logo. So I have to etch the logo. Thanks for sharing this, very helpful to me.
Thank you for posting. Very informative. I've learnt a great deal. Stunning logo and the silver looks classy.
Amazing tutorial!!! Can't wait to order stencils and give this a try! Thanks!
I just started making knives and am learning a lot from your videos. Thank you
Thanks for putting together the list of supplies, info etc. That alone is worth a like.
Thanks for the video, your knife and logo looks fantastic. I am just getting into knife making and really appreciate this tutorial
That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip...Awesome...Take care...Rod (the silver looks great)
thanks for this. love the finish and logo. i'm inspired mate. i want to be getting my mark on knives from day 1... i'm half way through making my 1st knife!!!!
Thanks for the video and heads-up on the template manufacturer. Logos inbound!
Good looking knife, and you’ve given me what I need to start etching! Thanks, and I enjoyed the video!
Excellent job.
the end result is just amazing! thanks for sharing
Great job looks awesome very impressed
Very good tutorial. Thank you for posting.
That logo is bad ass bro. Just got in to knife making. I am really considering getting a stencil made. Just have to come up with a design. Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful!!!
+Jason C awesome man! make sure its the one you really want! thanks for watching:)
Good looking blade. Im digging the silver logo. Looks clean. God job!
I think it came out great!
Good job!
That looks badass man. Nice and very helpful video
Wow, very cool. Thanks for sharing..
Great instruction video, thanks for sharing how you do the logo etching. much appreciated
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video mate!
Great video as always. Thanks!
I am impressed. Well done mate.
That is awesome keep it up man
kid, hats off to you sir. this is one of the best etches ive seen. thank you for the great detail on the steps to creating such a good looking etch
cherthound Thank you very much!!! Glad to help:)
Great explanation of the process.
Great video good instruction beautiful work
Very nice video, and that seems like a nice deep etch too!
You da man.....beautiful job. Totally awesome!!!
Outstanding job...beautiful.
Bo Max thank you very much!
Awesome knife and excellent logo! I would have made the scales out of G-10, but that's just me. Thanks for the video!
Nice result...Impressive.
I've never made a knife, but this was awesome to watch! Very cool!
+EvilPanda1988 thank you!
Thanks for your help
Brilliant mate! Just brilliant! Well done!
Thank you!!
Many people who do this for a living will have an adjustable power supply and use vinyl stencils. They also use a special electrolyte which is more conductive and not as corrosive as sodium chloride (often copper nitrate solution).
Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge dude!!!
right on! knowledge is power:) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for leaving links to all the equipment and and things you use! As a new knife maker I'm always trying to find the best places for steel and supplies. Great vids buddy!!
No problem James! Happy to help! If you have any questions please feel free to ask!!!
@@WhiteBoneKnives thank you trust me I'll take you up on that offer lol. I'm loving it but even the things people think look easy are tough lol
I've got a personalizer plus and it doesn't etch as deep as that, thanks for the tip!
I agree the silver is awesome bud love it. Great job.
Litefoot Thank you!!! :D
thanks for all your vids. took your advice and ordered stencils from ernie. very helpful. highly recommend him
Great video man! I had no idea it was this simple
Thanks for watching!
it looks as good as some engraving vids.. thank you for sharing
you are a great person
Very nice work.
***** Thank you!
Cool, thanks for sharing
Great video.
Could you do this with a car battery and jumper cables and the homemade contact bit?
outstanding job.!!!!!
Awesome work! Beautiful makers mark! I like the silver look also. If you want it black, after you have etched it, switch the positive and negative cables and etch again and it will blacken it, it works for my stencil etchings.... Have a good one!!!
Thank you! I will definitely have to try that out. The only reason I haven't is because someone told me not to. Never knew why though, but I will find out:D Btw I checked out your channel and your knives look great! keep up the good work!
Tried out the blackening but I think I still like the silver better. I'm gonna stay with it :D Thanks for the info though! good to know.
You could probably use a small amount of ferric chloride on it to darken it too.
Awesome!! Thank you sooo much for this!!
You are very welcome!!
Well done! Thanks. :)
Nice job..I really like the deep etch.
thanks!
Very nice etch.
this was good ..very good "diy detail"
I like the silver as well.
Great video, thanl you!
I'd also like to give some advice to you. Your lamp reflects a lot on the table, you can change this real quick and easily by just putting some sandwich paper or pan liner over it secured with a rubberband or tape.
Again: Great video!
Lennart Lennart thank you! I've actually switched shops since then😁 much better lighting now. I appreciate your comment and advise!
Well done.
man your knives look good
Great lesson! I like the silver too. Congratulations on a beautiful knife…what is your handle material? Thanks again for your videos.
Looks really great.
thanks!
Love this video.
Thank you!
Great job, great tutorial. You could switch out your DC for AC after the deep etch and clean up then put black inside at the bottom, now that'd be badass! Looks great already, I'm just more into the raw combat, half oxide a few scratches and an 80 grit finished grind in some differentially heat treated D2 with black denim saw tooth micarta... ;)
Excellent job!
Walter Kiel thank you!!! :D
that really cam out great
Nice!
Love this channel
ww2 colorizer thanks man! Great to have you here!
Nice job on that
Good vid.
Check out your local sign/banner shop. They can cut out adhesive vinyl stencils for you. It shouldn't cost more than $30 for 11x17 sheet full of 1/2" logos....These stencils he and a lot of others are using seem funky.
Great video, beautiful blade man. I'm just getting into knife crafting and have just worked out a logo for myself, can i use a car battery to etch? Also I heard mixing salt and vinegar works well. Would you recommend? Also, totally agree that the silver etch looks great (better imo) Keep up the good work mate!
great work
thanks!
awesome!
WELL DONE
Thank You for sharing, great etch, love the depth, the silver shows up well PEACE :-)
thanks man! :D
I like the look of that small knife, (without the filing of the spine) what would you charge to make me a knife like that with a right hand leather sheath PEACE :-)
I actually don't do leather right now. only kydex at the moment. But I'm charging $120.00 with an extra $10.00 for the burl wood. Just let me know if you would like to order! My number is on my website if you would like to give me a call!
Mark Noble
How did you make the small notches near the spine of the blade?
Great info, and I really appreciate all of your videos. You have definitely helped me out a lot. I will say however that I have never had a worse customer service experience in my life than when I tried working with Ernie... We went back and forth a few times just trying to get a design together before he told me he was unwilling to help me (even just a simple line of text, he flat out refused to provide)... I even called him to find out if there was a miscommunication or if I had come off wrong in the email. He was rude, and I have figured out how to do this without him getting a penny from me.
Thanks again for your videos brother, God bless you too!
I want to do this on a brass ring, will it work?
Nice
Personally I appreciate you taking your time. It's like people are in too much of a hurry to watch a whole video or too lazy to fast forward. Good work.
what type paper to use for image transfer and where to buy it.
What gave your etch that nice texture?
will this method work on all steels, like 440c and damascus?
wat grit is that belt on your sanding machine
where did you get your stencil
Impressive.
To be honest I was sceptical about the result but it turned out just great.. Nice and precise job.. Thank you
Marxus Aurelius thanks so much for watching!
Where did you get your etching machine?
Thanks for the helpful video! What kind of sander is that and how much was it? I am looking for a better sander/grinder for my knife making. Any info helps!
This is a Kmg belt grinder from beaumont metal works! go check them out!
clean the logo material with ultrasonic?
great vid thx
+Gaemma Cherrypop no problem! thank you for watching!
Could you not put silver foil inbetween the blade and clip? To save any scratches or will that affect the connection?
Good
ابو عبدالله السهيمي thanks!
I'd like to do this on a Gerber knife I got a while back, but the blade has a black finish on it. Would this method still work, or does the finish block the flow of electricity?
What if you use a magnet after you wipe it off would that help?
You definitely have an incredible talent , I just wish you did leather sheath work. I'm not a fan of Kydex and I would rather pay more for leather any day.
Keep up the work my friend. I subbed and liked , I will check back at a later date when you do leather. I'm sure you would be talented with leather as well.
Peace
How do you get a hold of Ernie from blue line
Could you use some tinfoil in between the positive clamp to avoid scratching?
nice
Where can you buy stencils to do this?
Great video. I like your etching tool handle idea, I need to try something like that. Awesome logo!
Thanks man it took about 60 different drawings and 6 hours to come up with but I believe it was worth it:D Thanks for watching!
Great logo!
What was the electric current you used?
