I think it looks awesome! It gives the knife so much more character in my opinion. I ordered two DMDCs... would it just be ridiculous of me to do this to one of them?

Cool, I'm gonna send you all my Busse knives. I hope your mailman has a strong back and the ground is firm under your house.
Just kidding about sending you steel, but I really like the look. Nicely done.

I think it will only work well with SR101 although I am getting some dark spots on
my DFLE.

I tried to blue my FBM once......NOTHING HAPPENED! As easily as SR101 rusts, it is a natural. I think it would probably work on SR77 but not as fast.

I am working on a patina finish on one of my Rangers right now, giving it a vinegar bath, there was a thread over there about patinas, I will post pics when it is done.

EMF,
I know what you mean, the ones they did over there turned out dark, I am hoping for the same results. I will be posting pics tomorrow along with my new ASH..... which should be delivered then as well. If this patina thing works out well then it is a nice alternative to coated blades although I can't see myself doing it to any of my LE scrapyard blades....

I did a patina on my ranger, I'll have pics soon. It didn't come out very regular or dark, but it totally stopped the rusting and seems pretty durable. I'll report back after i get some use with the patina on
Have you hugged your camp knife today?

Great Looking Mandu Patina! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Even the name "Mandu Patina" sounds kinda karmic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I like that pattern that seams to have naturally formed on it. That knife does have a lot of character.
