    Here is a pic of the knife. I use it for bbq and the patinas change colors and designs with every use. I also have left a knife in apple cider vinager for a few hours then rub gently with the 0000 steel wool. That had a more uniform patina.
    The little knife with mustard is for example of how I done it.

    I like the patina you have going there.. now I know it was like I was thinking, just like blueing a gun it is controlled rust but really is rust then it won't flash.

    You might look at Brownell's Oxpho Blue.

    I was just out on Craig's List and found a forge and some kydex sheets for sale. I typed in "knife" and they popped up. These are a little dated but here's the links if anyone is interested. Thought you might want to do the same in your area. You might get lucky and get a great deal.

    EDIT: LOL. The older forge thread was being sold for less. He posted the one above and raised the price.

    Looks great Crash! as you know I have been booted from my PC. I am trying to recover from getting the boots put to me while I was down. I ran accross some kind of "special" steel all I know about it is it says "Starrett" on it, maybe QC can tell me what it means? So anyway I started making some more blades. One is almost finished, I am doing a paracord handle on it. I'll try and get some pics up later.

    A patina finish might be a good idea. I'll leave that to whomever takes it home with them.

    Yeah you're probably right I'm just anxious to see another "bluing" job. I wasn't aware you could do that.
