Looks good.

I actually tried something like this on my DMLE using mustard (French's Yellow). I applied the mustard to the de-greased blade, let it sit about an hour and repeted five times. The result was a nice mottled appearance. I was so happy with the results I plan to do a few others. I'll try and post pics tonight if time allows.

Looks Good Horn Dog!! BTW you ever eat at Ginrights???

Yep. Best seafood in town.

You got that right!!!

I thought I'd make this thread a little more Scrap Yard related. Took my beat up, wierded out, convexed Dumpster Mutt and gave it the "treatment".


The Rats came out ok, too.

I got it. You're making relish knives! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Before I threw out the vinegar, I gave my DFCG a patina, too.

i like the looks of it.

i prefer a "pattern" in mine though & normally use mustard or even sliced tomatos..if i am slicing one to eat ill just leave the knife in there while im eating...tabasco works too!

How to do it with mustard btw?
Just putting it on the blade I guess?
I've just finished a first try vinegar patina on my Ratmandu.Just the last five minutes of the vinegar run I experimented a bit with mustard,put something on the blade and put back into the vinegar bath for 5 more minutes.Came out as slightly yellowish areas afterwards.

Alex

yep

apply mustard

leave for awhile

rinse w/ water



here's one i did awhile back
iirc
mostly w/ mustard although the dark lines coming down from the spine to edge were from tabasco i dropped on the spine & let go

Get a squirt bottle of mustard and dribble the stuff onto the blade randomly. Leave the knife sit, clean, repeat as necessary. The point is to produce an uneven and “natural” looking pattern of patina. I’m not sure how natural the result is, but that’s the theory.
