This is my take on “battle wash” . Not sure if I like it yet (last Pic is before acid wash)

This is the result of a couple years of stonewashing and then tonight, I soaked it in some acidic wheel cleaner. I've probably stonewashed the blade at least 6 times previously (last Pic for reference)

I think I'd like it more if it was darker. Might stone wash it again. I also think I soaked it a tad too long, but no biggie because it will grow on me
