Mustard and vinegar

[Rattle snake]

This is my first Becker knife and my first time to try the forced patina but I think it turned out ok.

Looks great! Did you use a domestic or imported mustard?

I soaked the whole knife in hot vinegar for 20 minutes after the mustard treatment. Then washed the vinegar off and dried it off. Lastly I coated it with olive oil.

Do you have any Grey Poupon? Thanks for the innovative idea that I may have to try on one of my beaters...Cheers.

PS...Does anyone here have experience with catsup/ketchup on a steel blade?...Cheers.

Nicely done sir! You can play around with hot sauces with different ph levels to get darker or lighter patina....

If you have the patience, use a toothpick and draw snake/fish scales.

That's a great idea. Never heard of that before. Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

I may have to try the toothpick on the next one.
