That is really an evil spirit that is trapped in the blade by the chrome finish

Batarra, The hilt is a simple carve, nothing really fancy. The wood is gorgeous, combine the 2, and I find a hidden beauty.

I CALL FIRST DIBS ON KINO'S COLLECTION!

Muriatic is a 33% dilution of hydrochloric acid, the main drawback/risk of using it is its propensity to form an acid fog that will coat every bit of steel (even stainless) in the room/building with a layer of very active rust, do not play with it in the same building your collection is housed in!!
I once got to check out 12 brand-new stainless elevators that needed to be replaced when the flooring contractor washed the newly-laid granite floor with muriatic to remove grout residue... expensive!

thanks for the warning, jeff.

i've decided that i will be doing this outdoors, hopefully this weekend, weather permitting...

I do not disagree it is nasty to work with that is why I suggested a respirator it will eat thru the standard surgical gloves also and make you cough like a 90 year old
