Taliwhacker Patina Time

RobStanley · Oct 9, 2014

My Taliwhacker was too shiny so I thought it time to put a patina on it.

Let's give good old mustard a go...

Hmmmm. Not bad. But I don't think it really, wait for it.... cut the mustard.

Let's give some balsamic vinegar a crack at it...

NOW WE'RE TALKIN'!!! The paper towel left an awesome pattern!!! Love it!

........ thankfully were here all know to what you refer when you say "Taliwacker" in this context....I just hope you neighbours didn't hear you say that to Rob or they may never look at you the same way again.....

My neighbours overheard me saying I was going to bathe my Taliwhacker in balsamic vinegar and now they won't return my calls.

That is a beautiful patina job. Looks great :thumbup:

Mikeynyc · Oct 11, 2014

Great patina that pattern sure does add some nice personality to that

That texture on that paper towel really caused that blade to look just great. You aced it.

...pretty perhaps..... But by the looks of the picture of you with the Tali, it appears that you were keeping it in a dungeon

Rob likes to party in some strange places...

Nah, it was outside at night. We just had a small camp light. Rob likes to get artistic with the camera so he managed to get some wild lighting effects.
