Ok, so we have lots of photo threads, and I did a little searching and couldn't find a Becker patina thread, so how bout it? Photo, and method of patina please. :D
I just took these at work with my phone, so apologies there.
BK2
Hot apple cider vinegar patina, would have taken it darker, but ran out of vinegar. There is some sheath and use wear on it...need a leather sheath.

Natural:





Forced with chili sauce:



I prefer to let nature do it, then I just keep everything clean and dry for storage.

Here is a Tabasco patina I did awhile back.
Kinda cool looking, but a little too funky for me. :D

Both of these were a mix of mustard and pepper juice. I bead blasted the BK2 first. The BK5 was semi polished first. As I remember, to about a 320 grit. The BK5 had some deep tool marks and waves in the blade. I didn't get them all out, and can feel the waves with my fingers. And I can see the tool marks with my eyes. But man, what a great knife it is!

Bottom one was dipped in a 1 part pcb etchant to 4 parts hot water solution for approximately 5 minutes, removed, washed, dried, then redone a few more times.
