Post some pics of forced patinas!

What was your method on this patina? I really like the color and pattern.

Thanks,
Jim

I daubed arcs of mustard on with a toothpick or matchstick, let it sit for about an hour before cleaning, then daubed in between the previous set of lines and let it sit for another hour, and done.

RC-3 I just convexed. Scratched up the patina pretty well with the sandpaper, so I sanded the whole blade a bit and decided I didn't like the result, so I forced some more patina. Vinegar and mustard. My amateur kydex sheath scratches it a bit, but oh well.
