Yeah, i finally done it
stripped the blade, filed the back so she throws sparks, soaked the blade in white vinegar for an hour, did a basic design on her with mustard and re-wrapped the handle

Looks good! I think after I get a fair amount more use out of my EsKabar I will prob try something like this. Accept I think I will prob take some tape or something and cut out a design or more likely my initials or something like that and use that to get my mustard patina. Yeah I think that'd look cool, Your initials patina'd onto the blade or your full name, just not to big. What do people think? would that look cool? and since ive never actually tried it would it be possible? or would the patina bleed under the tape or whatever was used for the stencil?

Looks good. I made my bk-11 mine shortly after recieving it. It looks similar to yours, But I like it that way.
