i'm going to be experimenting pretty soon with with tsuchioki type refractory tempering processes, but i'd like to get some experience with warm oil quenching as well.

two hour, room temperature bath in distilled vinegar gave a nice, splotchy patina:

in the second picture, you can see a nice, interesting star-burst pattern. it's strange, but i like it.
i've heard of phantom patterns showing up after etching recycled steels before.

Looks pretty cool. I think I'm going to try a mustard patina on my next one.
I see some very straight lines in the metal. Is that the result of the type of metal it was, the heat treat, the quench or all of the above?

the very fine, straight, lengthwise lines are the residual tiny grooves from the finish grinding.

ok, a gentle shave test on my forearm resulted in my successfully shaving off a paper thin piece of my forearm.

me and really sharp knives don't get along, mostly because the doctor's office want $100 bucks to get in the door.. then there's the stitches, etc... and the prescriptions... Lord Have Mercy!!
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller

Very nice, I'm a big fan of old and old looking gear.Originally Posted by canid
Old Rendezvous trick, use your new shiny belt knife to cut onions, leaves the splotchy patina, so you don't look like a pilgrim.
Won't work on stainless,obviously, but then again you wouldn't have a stainless knife at Rendezvous, any way.

yep, potatoes, green hardwoods [e.g. debarking], acidic fruit, etc. also work well.
