Very nice work man, love it. Especially the copper finish.

Looking for knife pics, cause I haven't posted any for some weeks...... Here is my Niner with the coating still under the scales.....I'm pretty happy with the forced patina. I've had it for awhile, and No problems.

Oh no, your 9 has a chip in the blade near the handle, looks to be the size of a man’s finger, better send it back to Ka-Bar!

Please share your patina technique, that’s awesome.

Yeah, what ^ he said.

You can also use nail polish as a resist and create cool patterns or lettering and such, and after the etch, clean it off with acetone.

Have fun with science!

Noice, I'm doing this with my next blade. So you draw the pattern with nail polish, and then soak in hot apple cider vinegar or what did you soak it in with this blade.

And can you show me the vinegar and crushed rock salt patina.

The lighting isn't great, but this is with salt and vinegar

On that BK9, I just splashed the nail polish on and wiped it down with muriatic acid.

This was also done with salt and vinegar with nail polish resist

Someday when I'am satisfied with the surface I will let the natural patinas begin . There is so many looks to choose from it makes it fun
