Patina photos

...thee Fuji I regrettably mustard treated...I now regret doing that but you live and you learn

I learned the hard way on that too. My mistake was with a Masamoto KS about 8 yrs ago.

Oomph. Sorry to hear that. Did the treatment ever fade or absorb into the naturally occurring patina?

Same here... forcing a mustard patina is not something I'll do again. Fortunately, a bit of Barkeeper's Friend and some elbow grease got it off.

I used some diamond spray and a felt block and cleaned up the KS. It did a great job but did leave a slightly more polished/shinier finish on the knife but not a big deal.

Iv'e just recently been messing around with this stuff

How did you get the pattern on this knife and what did you use to form it?

I always enjoy these patina photos and this thread has been quiet for a while. Here is my 270mm Masakane SK Gyuto.

Really liking how the coffee patina is holding up on my Yoshimi Bunka. Also, had the recent chance of meeting the man himself and had one of his apprentice custom engrave with my nickname.

This is what I consider a nicely used knife with full patina should look like after about a year of service. This is a Kanehida TK. I love sharpening this line of knives. A customer sent me this photo. I don't use nail polish, promise.

I missed this post from three years ago.

But this looks like a ransom photo,
..."you better pay up if you don’t want me to put that knife in the dishwasher"

My pareidolia kicked on hard on the dishwasher. I see a cartoon rat wearing glasses.
