I have a rather strangely shaped knife that a customer wants engraved. It has a Damascus blade and Damascus scales. The scales have a long tapered brass insert. He has given me full rein as to design. I was thinking of inlaying fine gold scroll outlines into the Damascus. Will the final stoning and polishing of the gold damage the Damascus pattern? I believe that the pattern is made with an acid bath after the billet is formed. I don't want to have to re-etch after the inlay is in place.
