Prep for stripping:

In the stripping bath ready to be batized:

Stripped but still has a dark coating:

Dark coating removed:

Super high tech patina compound applied (mustard):

And the finised product:

New fresh edge applied and I think she's ready for some action:

This knife has been through a lot. Super sharp and ready to go.

I dont get to claim the stripping, stippling or patina on this one as I bought it this way, but I think she's beautiful.

I did a forced patina on this one.

Looks nice. Love the forced patina you did. Looks like tiger strips!

Is this your version of a forced patina ! Love user pics. Think that's why I'm loving the patina so much, it shows it's being used. Great pics, hope they don't want their car back .

Can't find the pic at the moment but I did a forced patina on one of my ratmandus. Used mustard and it left a wicked cool pattern.

Yeah. I think we need a name for the wear on coated blades. I like "Beatina".
