    What blade is that? And out of curiosity have you been slicing onions with it? I asked the second question because I only seem to get that bluish iridescence patina effect when I cut onions with carbon steel.

    Is it made from 1095?

    I've had some similar effects from mustard when I've sanded the metal to a very high polish before applying the mustard. I like the knife and how it came out a lot!

    It's D2.
    I didnt think the mustard would work at first. Thank you! I'm happy with how it turned out.

    Wow I didn't know D2 would take a patina, gives me some ideas for the CFK in D2 @Dagwood gave me. Contemplating going full convex with it. Currently my esee 5 is the only blade I've convexed and I really love it for fire prep and carving in general.

    Yeah, you can't beat a convexed edge.
    I was also reading that boiling apple cigar vinegar will give it a nice black finish. I thought about do that, but I didn't want to stink the house up. I might try adding a patina to the BHK pitbull tonight as well. :)

    I've boiled and just soaked 1095 in both apple cider and white vinegar. Soaking and room temp takes a little longer than boiling for the darker finish, but smells way less offensive especially if you cover the dish with plastic wrap while it soaks.
