I bought and re-handled this pocket knife for my father in law. My etching solution had allot of copper in it, so it deposited on my Damascus. To help the finish last a while longer and not rub off, I applied a few coats Zinnsser clear shellac. It made it look somewhat plasticy, but I'm satisfied with how well it brought out the copper contrast.
