Salt treatment alone didn't do it - so I used the salt with a 9v battery and a q-tip to eat the metal. I only did a quick pass so it only roughed up the metal, but you may be able to get a power supply to really get an etch and pits.
Yea i have an AC/DC setup for etching that works great. I tried 9V batteries with only minimal success. I ran a few 9V in series and that worked better though.. I also tried the bigger 12V lantern batteries...
But nothing worked as good as this A/C and D/C setup. I use D/C to etch and THEN A/C to darken.
Havent used it in a while... But here was the first thing i tried to etch when i first got that setup in..... And yea this is an UGLY knife... But its been through hell for years,and thats why i practiced on it !!
That didnt turn out perfect but that was the first time i tried it, and was still good enough for me.
Oh and i have much better luck with a salt and vinegar electrolyte solution over just plain salt water. YMMV. I have heard some people add some peroxide too. I have not tried that yet though.

Where did you get those plugs? I know nothing.

Besides the alligator clips everything else has been "re-purposed" from other electronics.
I didnt put this kit together, I got it from a guy on BF... If your wanting to make yourself a kit i can ask him what the plugs went to, or which type of plugs will work. I know you want an AC and a DC one though. And this D/C box really just looks like a laptop charger cable thingy..... But im not for certain.
