It will remain somewhat shiny as it will resist the etch.
Here are blades with 203E that have been hotblued and then lightly sanded with 4000 grit. As the 203E resists the etch, it will remain somewhat higher than the other steel and the bluing will be sanded off. This last one is NOT hot blued - just etched: __________________ Blade Show Table 8-Q What do you do when you see your ex in pain, limping and bleeding? Relax. Take a deep breath.

Hi Frank!
203E will give a contrast somewhat similar to 15N20, though not as "clean" looking. 203E is a non-hardenable alloy. Its generally used for corrosion resistant pressure type vessels. Physically it has similar properties to 41XX series steels, but welds very easily. I choose not to use it because of the non-hardening aspect, and because it appears less "clean" in a finished billet when compared to 15N20. __________________ WWW.CAFFREYKNIVES.NET Caffreyknives@gmail.com "Every CHOICE has a CONSEQUENCE, and all your CONSEQUENCES are a result of your CHOICES." |
