  • Another Custom Knife Series! I just love customizing knives. I wanted to try some new techniques and make a handle with my new Black Walnut Burl boards. So here is the first episode; Prepping the blade with a patina.
    The blade I am using is a carbon steel blade from Karesuando Kniven:

    I've always done my force patina with ketchup, or mustard, but never tried a vinegar bath first. So, I'll have to try your technique tonight on my new Morakniv Companion Heavy Duty.

    Some sights say for a darker patina to boil the vinegar first as it helps make the patina almost Black.And let it soak in the vinegar overnight etc.

    I've found submersing a blade in boiling vinegar and letting it soak for ten to thirty minutes while still on the heat, to work much better. But it looks good regardless.

    • @hyperhektor7733
      @hyperhektor7733 7 лет назад

      it works even better with vinegar concentrate (25%), i used a glas jar with screw cap boiled inside a water boiler (both heated up from cold).
      the trick is the cap must be loose and when its boiling the cap can be closed slightly. so you can boil your metal without nasty vigegar acid steam ruin your home atmosphere :D.

    Without batoning (sp?) will regular use in the bush such as whittling, fuzz stick fire staring, meat cutting, etc. ruin the patina? Thank you.

    After adding a patina to my knife (which I took to a mirror finish), the surface feels very rough in comparison to before... Is this normal? I gave it a light rub down with wire wool after, and it's well oiled... Not sure if I should try and Polish it again, but I would assume I would remove the patina? Besides that one issue, I love the look of it!

      Nope, Its a patina. You can have a patina form age and natural oxidation or you can force the patina with a process.
