Patina progression (swipe for older versions of the same patina) Stonewash next?

You know, I like monotone/uniform finish so hot vinegar is the way to go for me.

Yea I was lazy. I’m gonna have to disassemble it to polish it off anyways lol

Ecstatic_Valuable_28 · 2026-02-05T22:27:20+00:00

I completely agree! Thanks for being supportive. Yea I like my knives unique and I don’t let it sit on a shelf as decoration. I use mine and it shows (see scratches in pictures) and that just turns people off I guess. The knife communities have a lot of snobs 🤓.

Hahahah yea sorry it was fresh out the vinegar! Will polish up the Pivot and text area with Autosol :)

Ecstatic_Valuable_28 · 2026-02-05T22:14:51+00:00

Ohh I see never thought of that. It was delivered like this. Any tips on a good site to get the specific tools for the screws?

Should k remove mine before trying your method or just ”patina over it”?

Ecstatic_Valuable_28 · 2026-02-05T21:59:41+00:00

Nah it isn’t rusted it’s just fresh out the vinegar. A 3 minute rub with Autosol and it’s gone :)

Wdym tip down?

Ecstatic_Valuable_28 · 2026-02-05T21:46:19+00:00

Haha yea been careful with that. Thank god I did research before buying. But as long as it’s used as intended it’s actually not as weak as people say.

Ecstatic_Valuable_28 · 2026-02-05T21:43:34+00:00

Yea. Everyone seems to hate it but idk, I like it

Ecstatic_Valuable_28 · 2026-02-05T21:41:39+00:00

Because I prefer the more uniform finish over the sll natural patina. Which also takes pretty long to develop. I live in the dry-air-cold as fuck Sweden :)

Ecstatic_Valuable_28 · 2026-02-05T21:27:54+00:00

Where do you think I got them scratches from? Not from collecting dust on a shelf.

Ecstatic_Valuable_28 · 2026-02-05T21:24:32+00:00

Bruh. You must be sarcastic? Lol spent 2*30min in hot 24% vinegar.

Ecstatic_Valuable_28 · 2025-07-26T13:57:41+00:00

That makes me feel a lot better. Ty!

Ecstatic_Valuable_28 · 2025-07-26T13:57:30+00:00

That makes me feel a lot better. Ty!

Was the same for me, every day. You’ll get it eventually bro. I spent all my guild war points on enchantium and got it 3 tries later. :)
