You could always just carry it a few years. I have one knife with a lot of brass on it and I had to worry more about polishing the patina off than gaining one.
Earned patina always looks better than forced, to my eyes. To illustrate, here is a set of solid brass dice I've owned for over 25 years. This patina was earned, and looks oh so cool to me. You can't squirt character out of a bottle.
