I am a starting knife maker and engraver. I would like to use a nice brass for a knifes bolster, pins and for inlay. It was mentioned that I should be aware that there are a number of brass types and to get the same brass for each of the components. In searching here there appears to be a number of brasses to avoid, but not named... and none that I could name as recommended.
In looking to Wiki, they have defined a number of brasses, some which imitate gold for use in coins, so of course I would like to use those. They are: the Manganese brass and the Prince's metal.
Any recommendations on those two or what would you suggest. Thank you for all your replies.
