Wanted my custom BK-2 black.

[jeffhaze]

So I tried to perma blue my BK-2 clip point.
It was not as dark as I wanted it so I polished off the bluing.
I then Forced a patina by soaking blade in hot apple cider vinegar for several times.
I then wash off all of the scale with 0000 steel wool.
Was not dark enough for me.
I then hot blued it.
It's as dark as I could get it.
If I get bored with this I think I will have it Cerakoted.
Let me know your thoughts on it or ideas.
Happy Days.

If you want Black without the thickness of a coating try Tool Black. I have used it with good results.
