Cholula Forced Patina

PincersOfPower · Sep 27, 2013

I finally got some time to begin stripping and patina'ing (that's a verb right?) my BK2

Stripped the scales off...

Let it cook in some citristrip for an hour or so...

Doused it in cholula for about 20 minutes...

And washed it off...tada!

Honed, oiled, and rescaled...

The pics don't do it justice... I am more than happy with the results. I'll take more shots when the sun comes back up!

looks like a great job! Did you add a secondary bevel on the edge?

PincersOfPower · Sep 27, 2013

Yes, i didn't want like how "shallow" the original edge was so I thinned it a little then finished it at ~20 ish degrees

Nice patina BTW.
