I really like my Counterpoint XL. But the one thing that I really don't like is the pocket clip is polished stainless steel. Does anybody know how I can Patina stainless steel? Boiling it in vinegar?. Or bluing or something? I don't want to paint it. I'm just trying to figure out how do I get a Polish finish black or close to it. Thank you in advance for your answers fellows.

Don't know about SS, but I know skateboard shops throw away pieces of self adhesive grip tape.
A few options are-
Have it sand blasted.
Hand sand it to a satin finish.
Both of those options will retain a silver look, but won't be quite as shiny.
I think it's a safe bet that anything you try to coat it with yourself won't last long.

I was thinking some kind of black paint but I know it's going to come off like you're saying. I'm going to try this and put some blue on it. I don't think it'll work on stainless steel though.A few options are-

I don't know if they will fit your particular knife, or how you feel about deep-pocket clips, but I just did a Google search for "cold steel black pocket clips" and it appears both Amazon and Etsy sell black ones for a few Cold Steel knives.
If you perform a similar search you will see the results on the first page. The one on Amazon is described as being for a Black Talon 2, and the one I saw on Etsy is described as being for a Recon 1. So if the screw hole configuration of those knives match yours, they should fit. Just check to see if the vendors have a return policy in case they don't fit if you go that route.

The pocket clip from the Ti Lite 6 will fit if that helps you at all, and it comes in black on the G10 and Aluminum handled S35VN models of that particular knife.
