How to Etch Wootz Steel

This article has now been revised, added to, and moved to Patreon to help fund this website. It details the steps necessary to etch wootz and pattern-welded steels in order to bring out the often previously invisible patterns found in historical blades.

To access it simply head over to Patreon and log in or subscribe.

Patreon support directly ensures that this website remains available but if you don’t want to pay (or you can’t) I completely understand and I have a free article on wootz, ‘Damascus’ and pattern-welded steels available to read here.

Many thanks.
