Hey guys this is only the second patina I have ever done. The knife is a Scrapyard knives Scrapivore. I used lacquer thinner to strip the coating which does a fantastically easy job. Let it soak into the coating and bam scrap it off with your finger or a cloth, popsicle stick whatever. I then started to polish it some with 1000 grit sandpaper. That was turning out to take forever and I figured it would get scratched with use so I went ahead with the patina. The word that keeps coming to mind is Mocha. Thoughts? Comments?
Thanks for looking

For this patina I used two lemons, cut in half and then I used a lemon juicer to get extra juice (waste not :) ). The four halves I pushed the blade through. I think the center of the lemon being open in the middle made it so brownish. Perhaps more air exposure or something. Thanks to all who have looked.
