Larry Flynt aint got nothin on me...

Here are the steps:

Disassemble said knife
Clean REALLY well with acetone and clean rag to remove all oil (my JYD had some oil on it, hence the spots)
Use a small snack bag and fill with WHITE vinegar
Submerge blade, spine down, making sure to only handle it with the stainless portion.
Prop the blade between two books loosely so the bubbles from the reaction go to the top of the bag.
Wait about 4-5 hours, remove blade, completely clean it again with acetone. Oil it up.
Gentle resharpen the edge to remove the patina and bring back the shine.

Then eat a pickle that doesnt taste like iron.

There you go, thinkin about stiffies again...hasnt the electroshock therapy been working? :D
 
Ive gotten a couple emails and inquires on the vinegar patina...Im looking forward to pics so we can see if the results from the system are all consistent.
 
This is the first I've heard of this vinegar patina thing, how does it work? Seems pretty awesome if it's what gave your CB's those nice dark edges. Are you considering doing the same thing for your Shallot? Although I really like the sort of Yin-Yang thing you've got going with the dark DAM Shallot and the lighter CB one, beautiful pic!
 
Shallot wont work. ZDP laughs at corrosion.

I posted the steps in post #21.

Its easy.
