I thought I'd put a patina on my stripped Howling Rat, but I didn't like the look. So I buffed it back out. I do have an old Ranger that I can strip. Pretty rough looking. Look at all those grind lines. Oh, well, it came out ok. I like this heavy saber ground old war horse. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Though urban gray + black = awesomeness = urban dog. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> JYD #54 "Put your hands high, let your arms be the pillars that be holding up the sky..."

It will happen over time or you can do [ENTER NAME]'s vinegar bath. It helps to make the high carbon steel a bit more stain resistant. You could almost say that it is the very earliest stage of rust, but not really. It's main function is for looks and to aid in stain reduction." JYD #56 Scrap Yard Sword Club #00

However, it still a very thin oxide coating and rust can still occur. JYD #54 "Put your hands high, let your arms be the pillars that be holding up the sky..."
