My camera isn't the greatest but you can get an idea of it at least. Looks very nice in person, for someone who likes patinas.

Kroger brand Dijon mustard. :D

I've never done it before. I just squirted a little on, dabbed it around with my finger (trying to get full coverage but keep it random) and let it sit for an hour or so.

Clean with warm water, a light coat of oil and rewrapped the handle. Turned out good I thought!

I'm hard on my knives and don't take care of them other than touching up the edge. This one had already developed a thumbprint design rust mark and had some other markings from cutting apples the other day. I'm hoping this patina will give it a bit of protection from that. We'll see.
 
Nice Patina and JK knife. I like the Hiker cordwrapped. I wish there were more like that.

John, how much lighter do you think it makes the knife?

I would think it cuts the weight by at least a third, that micarta is pretty heavy. I`ll be doing another one in a couple of weeks, I will weigh it before I ship it out.
