How to Easily Remove a Patina - DYI

- We often talk about forcing a patina on a high carbon steel blade but we rarely ever speak of removing one. That is a question I field every so often so in this video I share how I remove a natural useage or forced patina.

Thanks for a) talking fast, b) providing a solution for removing the acid-forced patina, and c) being FERAL!
Best tip I’ve ever seen, I now have a completely revived knife, it suffered 50 years of corrosion but after removing the rust with vinegar, I was able to remove the patina, thanks to this guy making this video, I have a beautiful knife, it took me a while but it is the best way to remove patina without wearing away a lot of metal (especially since this was a hand engraved knife)
That exact paste rubbed into a bit of leather strap glued to a board is pretty much my favorite final sharpening step. Perfect for touching up my kitchen knives too. While I really don't mind a nice patina on carbon blades I love a perfect, polished edge for food prep. With my kitchen knives I can slice one tomato thin enough to top thirty hamburgers.
That's pretty impressive! And a testament to your dedication to a sharp edge. Thanks!
More of a testament to how cheap I am...
Your timing couldn't be more perfect. I've been wanting to polish that custom knife I got a couple weeks ago.
It had a mustard patina on it, but I think it will look better with a nice shine to it. Thanks!!!
Nice job, Joe- Thanks for taking the time to show us that technique...bound to come in handy sooner or later.(I'm thinking of my truck knives that suffer over Chicago winters)
Thanks! I am glad you found it helpful :)
Thanks for the tip! I never really thought about using wheel polish on knives before, but it definitely works! Love your channel brother!
Well thanks Randy! Glad you found it helpful my friend.
Mothers Mag polish is a staple of my knife maintainence supplies .
Nice quick tip, Joe. I live in a desert, so a patina has to be forced if I want one. I usually use a slurry from a nagura stone to remove any minor corrosion. Same concept as the polishing compound, I think.
I think it is Jude. In fact I am fairly certain nagura is used in many polishing compounds. Thanks!
Joe, after watching this video I picked this stuff up and it works amazingly well. Thanks for the review and all your great videos.
Thanks for letting me know Roger, I appreciate it! Glad it worked well for you!
You're right Joe...no one ever thinks about taking a patina off. I use a product called "Autosol Metal Polish' it will take a patina off as well as rust and more commonly, tree resin. It tends to leave a near mirror polish as well. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for this vid. I have a Barky (A2) "Squad Leader" that I forced a patina on...and have regretted, ever since. I'll score me some of this polish, and get my blade back to its former glory. 👍
Joe, that was pretty cool. never took patina off, but i usually put one on by lemon juice or something acidic
That was honestly the darkest patina I've ever forced. It made me a believer in using tannic acid. Thanks bud!
i use the mothers mag and aluminum polish too.. the only downside to the stuff is the smell but it works great. great video bro!
Yeah it does smell haha and it sticks around for a while too lol Thanks!
For a more field expedient use you can take 2 quartz stones and rub them together. Once you do that you will find that you have created a quartz dust. You can then add a little water to make a paste and rub it on your knife.
Nice tip, thanks!
Love this stuff. Been using Mothers for years on my bikes as well
It's awesome stuff! Thanks Shane!
Thanks for sharing Joe. I may use this technique to polish the bevel on my genesis. I love the look of a patinaed (is that a word?!) blade and a shiny bevel.
I like the look as well. Especially if it's a natural usage patina. Thanks!
Hi from Australia, Im new to your channel 👍
My knife has been living under my pillow for years & covered in patina. I decided to clean it to add to my survival gear but wasnt sure how to remove the patina. Thank you...this helps a bunch ❤
You sleep with a knife under your pillow?
@@Strassenkicker I was home when robbed once & had a stalker that eventually entered my home a couple of years ago so Yes I sleep with a knife lol
@@noscript5003 Oh my, be safe!
@@Strassenkicker Will do, thank you ❤
thanks for the tip Joe great video as always
Thank you Erick!
Mothers is one of the best products ! And some elbow grease , nice one Joe
Thanks Jon!
Right on. Seems simple enough.
Thanks for the video
Thanks Mark!
i use the same thing joe works like a charm
Great minds! lol Thanks!
Nice tip Joe, thanks for sharing it...
Thanks Bill!
Great video Joe as always!!! Cheers buddy!
Thanks Jimbo!
Thats awesome. Im gonna have to try that on some of my blades
it works well. just be prepared for the lingering smell. It's not bad but it gets annoying b/c it hangs around for awhile. Thanks!
thanks for another great tip
Thanks!
You have another raven! I'm so jealous!
Yep! That was the 3rd Custom knife I bought. And of the 3 the only one I still have. :) Thanks Micah!
Thanks!
I have a huge 26 inch saw i need to remove a really dark black patina \ oxidation from the entire blade
This would come in handy
well done video
thanks
Thanks!! I appreciate that!
I really need some help here i tried forcing a patina on my cpm m4 blade with whit vinegar and tried removing it using your method with same exact polish however now i have a big dark spot where i was polishing for 20 minutes
that's a good quick tip.
Thanks Michael, I am glad you found it helpful.
Good information
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
good tip
Thanks Matthew!
awesome video man good to know lol I just use need wax or fixin wax on my phantom 2
Thanks Justin! I need to reup my stock of fixin wax as well.
Feral Woodcraft yeah it's good stuff
can you wash the stuff off and still safe for food prep? That polish has to be pretty water resistant.
Love mother's polish.
Me too!
I have a sword with a 24K gold plated handle. How should I approach this on the handle?
Mothers just works!
Agreed! Thanks!
I have a patina between my knife scales, will the metal polish damage the wood if I apply it?
What kinda steel is this? You may have mentioned it and I just missed it but I’m wondering if it would work just as well on carbon steel
I use Flitz for that chore.
I've never heard of it before but if you recommend it I know it's good stuff. I'll see if I can locate some. Thanks Mike.
Gracias
De nada!
Can you still use a sos pad and a lot of elbow grease to remove the patina?
Thanks Joe. But I think I'm going to need a whole bundle of shop rags to address all those old hand tools that seem to find my shop as a "Sanctuary City"! Oh well, at least it's not something The Wife put into the "Honey Do Jar!"
lol! If that's the case, break out the buffer wheel haha Thanks!
For removal of IRS agent, repeat process 10 times. Done!
LOL Now that was funny hahaha! Although, I think that is more a nuke it from orbit situation.
😂
Does the metal polish damage or affect wood?
wow, that was freaking magic! lol
LOL! Just a wee bit of elbow grease is all. Thanks William!
Cool technique. But I don't understand why one would want to remove a patina????
The question is usually phrased "I cooked dinner with my knife and now there is a darker patina in the middle of the blade, how do I get it off?". Moreso an unintentional and uneven patina.
now I have a? may be silly but would that work on a homemade belt strop to strop the edge of the blade ? what ya think
I bet it would work just fine. You might want to either apply it sparingly or allow it some time to dry though. This stuff is wetter then it looks. Thanks Harold!
I'll try it and let ya know thanks for getting back to me I honestly forgot about it
DYI? Haha
that's a two sided blade. lol
lol Yep. Dual personality it is!
