Thank you for that. I am not going to use the technique on knives but I have some other projects like making table lamps from recycled materials where I think this could add to the look.
Your videos are terrific! My son and I have just started making knives and watching videos for useful tips and methods to avoid wasting hours doing something that can take minutes. Yours is the most down to earth channel we've found, and the name is nice. Thumbs up for all the content (even the stuff that is not knife related, like coffee roasting, I'll be trying that out myself :-)) We'll be watching more of your channel! By the way, if you have a merch store, we would totally buy and sport some "Simple Little Life" sweatshirts or T-shirts down here in Oregon!
That looks pretty great! I like the splatter pattern, and I think it would look pretty cool on a bigger chopper/machete type of blade, but I think you would have to include the bevels into the pattern since the bigger blade would most likely have handle scales.
Not Not a big fan either but as you said proof of concept. It gives me some idea's of some other possibilities I hadn't thought of before. I may have to play around a little bit. Thank you sir!
Can you etch a knife AFTER duracoat finish is applied? Either etch or mark. I have the personalizer plus, and need to etch 2 knives that have been duracoated. Thanks!
@@Simplelittlelife I doubt that it would work. To quote a faq "One of DuraCoat®'s attributes is its extreme ability to resist salt corrosion." But one might be able to get discolourisation and hence be able to mark.
Done this before only dipped in acid for a few hours. Pro tip: don’t use nail polish with glitter in it. If you’ve ever dealt with glitter, you know why. 😂
I used to call it a street scalpel but then I got an email from PayPal saying I can’t sell it under that name. I guess for the same reason you stated 😆
When I first saw this on Instagram I thought it was pattern welded. Had to look twice 😂 very creative idea 👍
Thanks buddy!
Thank you for that. I am not going to use the technique on knives but I have some other projects like making table lamps from recycled materials where I think this could add to the look.
Oh that would be cool! 👍
Very cool look! Think I would leave the darker etch if I were to order one
Thanks!
Simple Little Life do you sell or take orders at all??

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! 🙏👍
nice one jeremy looks good.

Yeah I think it would be sweet to do this to the bevels also on a bigger blade. Added bonus: less hand sanding 😆👍
@@Simplelittlelife Hahaha! Amen man!
Awesome Jeremy... you are just full of "GREAT IDEAS"... I personally like this finish...thx again....
Thank you! Always more fun stuff to try out 👍
I like it! You might try an airbrush to apply some different patterns. The vinyl idea would be pretty cool also. Thanks for the video.
Take care!
That’s a great idea! 👍
@@Simplelittlelife 😊
Wow! I ever wondert how this is made, I think I will try it by myself, cool Video!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for the video! Do you know if a battery charger would work for etching?
Not Not a big fan either but as you said proof of concept. It gives me some idea's of some other possibilities I hadn't thought of before. I may have to play around a little bit. Thank you sir!
Right on. Yeah I figured this was a fast way to test it out and there are so many directions to go from here 👍
I love your videos, I always give them a thumbs up right as I start watching because I know their always great. 👍💪
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. 👍
The most interesting vid on metal finishing for blades in a long time. Great stuff Jeremy. 👍
Thank you very much! 👍
Subscribed, love the idea and yes never stop trying new ideas!

Thank you! 👍
Great video. That turned out really cool. I agree 100% that this is flooding my head with other ideas.
Great idea! Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome! 👍
That looks really cool. 👍😁
Thank you!
Very Cool, will be giving this a try. Thanks Jeremy
Right on! You are welcome 👍
Jeremy is the etching brush home made? If so, is there a tutorial on your channel or link for purchase. Great work brother, thank you.
It was the one that came with my personalized plus 👍
Thank you Jeremy! I'm finally going to get my etching machine out! 👍
Can you etch a knife AFTER duracoat finish is applied? Either etch or mark. I have the personalizer plus, and need to etch 2 knives that have been duracoated. Thanks!
I don’t know for sure but I would think no. I haven’t looked into duracoat but if it doesn’t conduct electricity, this won’t work.
@@Simplelittlelife I doubt that it would work. To quote a faq "One of DuraCoat®'s attributes is its extreme ability to resist salt corrosion." But one might be able to get discolourisation and hence be able to mark.
How do you round your knife edges so clean?
Great idea.
Thanks! 👍
Awesome! Def going to try that soon. Thanks for sharing.
Right on. You’re welcome Nathan👍
I found a 13.5 volt 5 amp dc power supply would that work or should I buy a variable 30v-5amp dc power supply
Very cool effect
Thank you!
Hey jeremy what knid of etching machine or set up do you use?
Thank you for the video ..😀👍
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching and the nice comment 👍
Can’t wait to do this to my para 3 blade
Sweet!
Great video and great idea as well... Cheers, Martin
Thank you very much!
Could this also be done with gun blue?
Sure, but you wouldnt actually etch but only have the colour change.
Thanks
thanks mate, i'm experimenting with fruit acids right now, cheers
Right on👍 You’re welcome!
Awesome looking! You just earned a new sub. 😃
Thank you very much! 🙏👍
Etching a camouflage pattern could look awesome 👌
Yeah that is one that I want to try. Just working on a vinyl stencil for that. 👍
Cool ! 👌🏼
awsome
Thank you!
Next time u can use wax heat it and splash it on ur blade , I made one it had rain drops as texture , looked pretty cool I used acid bath
Now, thats cool
Thanks!
The color looks kind of cool, even though that wasn’t your goal.
Thank you!
👍
Looks like a collaboration between Jackson Pollock and Dexter.
Done this before only dipped in acid for a few hours. Pro tip: don’t use nail polish with glitter in it. If you’ve ever dealt with glitter, you know why. 😂
Hahahaha!! 😆👍
That looked different for the handle.
Only thing that limits my knife making is money 😅
haha looks like a murder weapon.
