Patina on INFI?

[NuclearSwine]

Seeing the very attractive patina on members' Swamp Rat blades, I wanted to ask if anyone has found a way to successfully patina INFI. If so, how did you do it? I use mine in the kitchen all the time and have tried mustard and grapefruit juice to no avail.

This is the most I've ever seen INFI patina. It happened after carving a very large spiral cut ham.

I miss this knife

Raw meat. Chicken and beef in particular have given my INFI a patina.

That is a double cut blade right?

Nope, satin

Most reports, and my own experience, is that meat will lend a patina to INFI.

I've cut steaks, ham, chicken, deer all that good stuff with no spots on my INFI at all... I do wipe it regularly....

I have to agree... I've never had any stains on my infi even after a long bath in steak blood !

resinguy, have you tried washing that off with dish soap and hot water? I've noticed similar stains on my infidu after a camp trip but it was oils from the meat and beans . It took some scrubbing but eventually came off.

Because pics are fun!

Thanks guys what a great excuse to go buy lots of steaks.

Ribeye, my favorite.

Does competition finish rust easier than satin or double cut? Would a patina help ?
