i stripped and polished my bk9 a few months ago and decided it was time for a change. Its the first time I've done a patina on this one but I'm happy with how it turned out
I tried mustard first but since I had a good polish on the blade previously, it didn't have the usual effect. So I did the old vinegar and paper towel wrap and left it for a while. Repeated the process the next day and that's it. I think I got lucky that the pattern turned out just like I wanted lol
Awesome job mate. Looks superb. Love the colours in amongst the shiny bits..
I think someone here in Beckerberg needs to make a patina 'recipe' book.
"...add 1 cup of cider vinegar, 2 paper towels and let your combat bowie soak for 2 hours. Meanwhile, prepare your mango puree..."
