Then Satan came into my head and convinced me to try giving it a patina. I used gun bluing and 0000 steel wool, after stripping all the protection I could with alcohol. I can always buff it out if I don't like it. Reminds me of my Mom's old butcher knife, which I kept sharp for her. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Clean stripped and buffed blade with alcohol, incuding tang and ricasso. 2. Apply Birchwood-Casey Perma-Blue with 0000 steel wool. 3. Allow to darken to desired color. 4. Wash off. 5. To go from blue to gray, apply WD-40 with another piece of steel wool. 6. Wipe clean, touch up edge, if desired. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
