    Default Marking Tools

    ... not marking tools.

    "A very good shot of an owner's applied etch. While researching this saw, I by chance caught a description in an old Disston catalog from 1887 which instructs how to apply an etch like this."

    Rust converter works too. A little of the liquid that settles out on top when the can has been on the shelf a while. I did an etch on a saw I made using a rubber stamp.
