Awesome to hear the order arrived in one piece and that you're happy with the final blades!
I think that generally the guys go as dark as they can until they hit diminishing returns with a specific blade. Sometimes it can be hard to get much result by going further on the acid wash. One thing that people do is something called compound polishing. If you look it up, you'll find some instructions on how to do it for katanas. You might be able to get a higher level of visible activity through this process. Alternatively, you can just use it for a while and then once the acid wash has worn off, I can send you instructions on how to do it again and you can push it as much as you'd like to see how much contrast you can get.
Take care,
Andrew
