So I have had my BK2 for a while now and based on some forum post I got the courage to start modifying it. This is my first mod and really enjoyed it. I didn't do anything to fancy just replaced handles with micarta, stripped the blade and forced a patina with a mustard. Your opinions are welcome.

How did you do the patina? I've been wondering how to do one for a while now, thanks.

oh, and i like it a lot.
 
I like that Mustard Patina. Those stripes came out a lot nicer than most of the ones I've seen. I don't usually like the mustard patina.
 
I used generic yellow mustard and a 2" paint brush to get the lines. I messed up on a small section of blade but i still like it.

dont worry if you use it enough it will wear/buff/scratch off and then the natural will take over and it will be beautiful
