traumkommode knows how to force a patina folks!

I know forced isn’t super popular, but I was doing this last summer. Used mustard on the cap lifter. It’s a lot lighter now but still there :

Forced is just fine by me. It helps protect the blade if you live in places like where I live with rainforest climate. Also helps if you want a 440C blade to have patina (which otherwise never would) like that one that Josh posted

I love the way Case CV develops a patina. This is from slicing apples.
