Lets see some of your traditional blades with patina. Wether its a good, bad or ugly patina. I've got Three Case knives that are Cv and want to see some forced or natural patinas. If this has been posted already then a link will do. I will post pics of my soddie's forced mustard patina when I get a chance to take some pics. Thanks.

This little Boker was my first real knife. It has some well-earned patina.
 
My picture taking is brutal but my patina skills have gotten pretty good. I do a lot of experimenting! The 2 kitchen knives are pre WWII herder knives. They are high carbon knives I put crushed mud scales on to match the kitchen. awesome knives but the wife dosent keep'em as dry as I would like her to so I fixed em so she dosent have to worry about it. The butcher knife got tiger stripes first, yellow mustard put on with a brush in stripes, allowed to dry then soaked in apple cider vinegar for 2-3 hours. then wiped down and brushed with almost boiling apple cider vinegar, then wraped over night in paper towels soaked with vinegar. The other knife same ordeal just different pattern kinda. The old boker has the real thing, if you can even see either one with my crummy pics.- Joel

I'm impatient; I cheated patinas on my GEC #25 and #23 with a cup of apple vinegar. Sorry for the lack of pics.:o
 
Nice! Man patina really gives a slippy character.
Hey Peter Parker if that knife could only tell the stories about your grand dad. I wish I could have had a knife from one of my grandpas. I did get a .22 Rg pistol from one of them. My mom kept it when he passed and gave it to me this christmas.
 
I love patinas!

Here are a few of mine, on some scandi fixed-blades that I based on cobbler's blades from Ragweed Forge:

These are all forced patinas, though they have definitely evolved over time and with use.

All the best,

Here some of mine that show a good patina. These happen to also be my favorite knives and the ones I find most in my pockets. The following knives show good honest patina's, nothing forced here. Matter of fact, the case 6292 Jack you see below was just used to clean eight bream for supper last night.
