Names Andre LeBlanc living in Colorado Springs Colorado. Somewhat new to forging, been doing stock removal for about 2 years. Just finishing my first stainless san mia 1095 core 416ss. cant seem to keep the stainless shiny and the core black with feric or coffee etch. Just got some caswell cold blue finish, tried on a bottle opener of the same material but turned the stainless very dark. Any suggestion is appreciated! thanks, I hope I'm not breaking any rules by asking this on the intro page..
