Some companies/craftsmen can make blades that look like they are pattern welded by using wax and acid. The wax is melted on to the blade, then scraped away in the desired pattern, before it is put in a mild acid solution.

Spounds like something one might be tempted to try at home. Has anyone already been this foolish?

It is indeed tempting... What sort of acid should be used? Do you mean beeswax? How long would you have to dip the sword into the acid? Will the effect be the same as a pattern welded sword?

Valete,
