I heard mustard works good, I guess it depends which stainless steel you use. I sugest asking on the "shop talk" subforum here : http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=741

The mustard [vinegar or acetic acid] works on carbon steel not stainless . www.damasteel.biz recommends hydrochloric or sulphuric acid [37% solution] for their stainless.Be very careful handling these concentrated acid solutions !!!
I`ve used the vinegar/mustard on carbon steel blades only and don`t know about stainless.
You can try to stick your knife into a tomatoe and leave it there for a while. You should get a nice patina to it. Worked on carbon steel blades and on one of my stainless kitchen knives. Don`t think it`ll work on every stainless steel blade though.
