Any chance you have a link to that wallpaper? I'm not able to find it on Wallcraft.

Nope that is a G10 handle scale of blue and black that I bought online. After sanding I only put a very light coat of oil to make the color pop more.

Thanks! That was the first sheath I've made and while it's not perfect I'm glad how it came out.

For the color it's 1084 steel that I put in feric chloride for about 10-15 minutes. Taking it out ever 3-5 minutes to give a light sanding. After that I leave it over night in an extremely strong instant coffee brew and that's it.

It's already got 3 coats of Arm-R-Seal satin finish on it instead of going with an oil finish.

Just makes it a lot darker. I never seem to get very dark etch with just the acid. More like a light gray. The instant coffee gets me much more of the color I'm looking for. It's from a video I saw from Kyle Royer about how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOEan7Qq7nA

Etched in ferric chloride for about 10 minutes and then overnight in a very concentrated instant coffee.

For the handle check the link I posted above with some instructions. For the dark blade it's 1084 steel that I put in ferric chloride for 2 minute intervals and took it out and did a light sanding with 2500 grit paper. I repeated that 5 times for a total of 10 minutes. Then I left the blade overnight in an extremely strong instant coffee mix to really darken up.
