I remember him saying the main blade was either meat or fruit and the secondary was mustard or vinager or both but applied with a toothpick in two layers. One layer, dried the do it again!! Definitely looks good!!

Thanks guys! Yep, that's pretty much it. For the main blade I just make it my main fruit cutting knife for the first few weeks of ownership. Doesn't take long to get a nice patina going. For the pen blade I mixed some apple cider vinegar with mustard, dabbed it on with a toothpick, and let it sit for 30 min. Then rinse and repeat the process. There's a pretty good tutorial on YouTube where a guy does it with an Opinel, I have to give him credit for the design itself. I've just kinda adapted it to something I do on most of my multi-bladed carbon steel knives, with a natural patina on the main blade, and this forced design the secondary.
