    I LOVE A GOOD PATINA Its one of the reasons why Im starting to really like non stainless steels!
    Funny you didn't like the Mustard patina, thats the first example that looked good to me.
    ...I have no knives I keep in a safe but there are one or two that don't leave the house...

    this thread is so damm cool. I looovvve the old tymer look w/no orange scale... pappaw was right..nothin' like HC steels...nothin' baby

    almost makes me wanna wrap bamboo in soaked tatami and start dissection procedures...ALMOST!!

    Onions work great for a dark quick patina, but ive never made a ggmbo w/o a aquasalt..so i dont know...

    I finally forced a patina on my Super Blue Caly 3.5. It was starting to patina just from carrying it, but it was uneven. So, I did this...

    I like how it turned out.

    Here's an updated (crappy cellphone) pic of my SB Caly 3.5.

    At one point I polished the edge, but that only lasts until it is used.



    Over a month on this edge and with minimal stropping, it is still plenty sharp.

    I cut some rhubarb once with an AUS 8 blade, and it stained pretty good. Y'all might want to try some.

    No pics, but I love the steely look that ZDP gets after a while. My Delica's looking pretty nice.

    - best wishes, Jazz.

    Rhubarb puts instant patina on carbon steel. Nothing comes close to it.
    I don't force patina, but I do cut rhubarb!

    My Opinel no7
    If you look close, he looks like a sly, swimming, smirking shark! (the nail nick being the eye)
