Question:
I have a sword blade I am finishing up and I have been polishing for a couple days. As I begin to polish by hand, I was wondering if it would be feasible to finish the blade with a dark patina BEFORE I electro-etch some symbols and runes into the blade. Obviously, a shiny blade without patination would show off the etchings better, but assuming I etch very deeply into the steel, a patina should still show off the etchings, yes?

I don't know the answer, but personally I would polish it and then etch it before patina. The patina will look more genuine if placed over a polish and is allowed to be in the engraving.
