I tried to put some patina on my edc Sarge 7 today, i used battery acid and this is how it turned out. If you have tried something similar post some pics.

Heck NO! I barely know you!:p

Sorry no Busse patina for me. Straight satin, comp finish, or coated only. I guess I'm just that kinda guy.
 
Nothing 'forced' here, but some natural formed:

Just a bunch of loved blades. Latinas formed rather quickly.
 
The only time I saw some artificial patina on a Busse look good was when a guy used Radio Shack PCB etching solution. Looked like a weathered competition finish.
 
INFI won't really blue or take much of a patina. Some have noted that using a satin Busse to cut raw or cooked meat will leave a slight patina.
 
The K390 Spyderco got a mustard treatment, and the TGLB got a wire brush on a bench grinder.

 
Not much into patina myself. I would rather just keep them shinny with some filtz.
