Jim, you're right about no reason to etch before finished blade. Other than as you said just to see what it looks like. Since I'm just learning this pattern welded stuff, it's good to see what the pattern looks like. Also, since I'm learning I might not turn the billet into a blade for a while since I'm enjoying the forging and playing with my new 12 ton press.
