Here is some info from the ESEE forum.
Basically strip the finish from the blade and use a vinegar to patina.

Lemon juice.

Once the knife finish is stripped and clean soak for three hours.

Ha! Before I even scrolled down I was going to say the same thing.

Works like a charm, nice purple/blue patina.

Yellow mustard has given me great results as well.

One thing is that Infi does not patina as easily as higher carbon steels like 1095, 5160, 01, sr101, sr77 etc.
