Thank you for the very kind words, GT! :)

I would guess that what I'm doing to get any patina would seem counter-productive to some. After a few sessions of slicing limes, strawberries, apples or whatever seasonal fruit pops up, I find that I don't really care too much for the blotchy, unevenness that sometimes remains. So I go over to the sink, make a few passes with a steel wool scrubbing pad (SOS), and rinse & dry. That does take quite a bit of the tarnish off, but after a few times it does seem to get a patina that's kinda even-ish.

With the Texas Jack and the Churchill, I'm guessing that less gets scrubbed away due to the polish on the blades. The satin-finished blades might tend to give up more of the patina on those micro high-spots while being scrubbed. I think. :D

Good to know! -- I'll try the SOS pad (instead of just warm soapy water) -- My patina changes daily :eek::D
 
Patina on this is looking good!
