How To: Forced Patina using brown mustard

- This video shows how I cleaned and prepared a carbon steel blade before I forced a patina using brown spicy mustard. This is a fun way to customize your non-stainless steel knife blade at home.
Here is a link to The Super Eraser I used in this video.

Method demo starts around 4:45
Wow! That really gives a great effect. Finding different materials to apply the mustard to achieve outrageous patterns is cool,too. Thanks for the idea, your video really cuts the mustard!
One of the coolest applications of a forced patina I’ve seen. Great job!
That's a great looking knife. I'm a new knife maker and can appreciate the work you do. I'm getting better with every knife I make.
Really like to hear your bird sing in background. :)) Mustard is made of ground mustard seed powder to give it zing and a vinegar base... acetic acid. The acid does the chemical reaction with steel and makes patina. NICE job. Didn't know about eraser. THX!
If you used the knife rubber after that on the blade would it come off?
Very cool. Grabbed a few of those magic erasers, thank you for the tip.
Sweet brother. I love the Bushlore! It's a great knife at a steal of a price. Thanks buddy.
great video man, i am doinng it on my hatchet. what do yoou think about the knife, is it worth it? the design has nothing wrong, but many claim that the steel is too soft, do you recommend it?
Hmm, nice effect, but how did you get the green and brown/red additions onto the blade (I mean the result shown in the beginning)? Looks awesome, how did you do it?
i tried putting this texture on my car, 45 bottles later and 2 hours of waiting, nothing happened and had to wash my car.
Great video! Will this work on all carbon steel or just the particular type used in knives, I'm shore It does just wanted to check though, I subscribed !
how long does it stay on/ can it be removed
Do you treat the blade with anything after you remove the mustard?
I enjoyed this!
That is a real cool design at the end.
How does the corrosion resistance of patina'd carbon steel compare to stainless?
***** you mean "comparison", right?
would this work on copper?
That random pattern, it looks pretty cool to me! How is it holding up after 10 months?
How did it look like, now? :)
Handsome looking knife.
I've invested in a mora companion heavy duty and I will probably end up using vinegar for a forced patina. (Yay, dollar store vinegar.)
Thanks boss, I will give this a go on my banded steel wheels.
I am going to try horticultural PH down adjusters, ie, Phosphoric acid.
really like the video!! have the same knife!! going to try it!! Thanks!!!
Looks sick!
steel wool and/or ultra fine sand paper I THINK is better AND more economical than one of those "knife erasers" ...I keep sand paper stocked all the way to the incredible fineness of 2000 grit! By choosing the grit one can achieve virtually any final surface....pretty quickly too!
looks cool I'm trying this on a Opinel knife.
Nice looking patina. Thanks.
I used apple cider vinegar to force a patina on mine. I left it in the vinegar for about 2 hrs. Came out pretty dark. Lightly sanded the knife afterwards. Looks like an antique now. However I think I will sand it a little more to lighten the patina. Then apply some mustard using a tiger stripe pattern. The easiest and most efficient way to keep your blade from rusting.
Patina protects from rust? Do you need to clear coat it afterwards? I thought patina literally rust from the vinegar.
Can you etch a logo into that? Or would you etch first?
I put a thin bead of cheap fingernail polish along the edge before forcing. Then use acetone after. Offers some protection to the edge.
Ìts coming onto winter where I live...B.C. so those birds chirping in the background is givin me a semi!!!
I have a carbon steel Kiritsuke, its blade is black, slight patina, would this method work, or be sort of useless?
will it work on titanium
You can use a regular eraser as well
If the process yields a less than desired outcome can the design just be sanded/compounded/polished out so the process can be repeated?
Yes
Pretty cool man.
grey poupon works like a champ
Thanks for the info
I wonder if a guy could apply a patina to a new blade prior to tempering it? Maybe that would create a longer lasting patina? If not what about doing the tempering process with canola oil on the blade. The oil would penetrate the blade. I know that's what they do to bbq smokers to season them, preventing rust. They just put oil on it, like canola or walnut, then let it burn for a while to get really hot, allowing the metal to expand and take in the oil. Once it cools the oil has been cooked into the grill. I might try it.
what if you were to carve a design in a halved potato and then coat it in vinegar and press it the blade under some weight?
Nice !!! Thanks !!!
You are actually pickling the carbon steel with the vinegar in the mustard. The do the same on a large scale with car bodies in the factories.
ONLY WORKS ON CARBON STEEL!
try this with bubble wrap. Place your mustard on a plate by itself, add just a little water to make it, of course, "watery". Get your piece of bubble wrap and dab it a good bit into your mustard, then apply your mustard-enhanced-bubble wrap to your steel.
is there any way you can do this on a stainless steel blade?
Max C a bit different but I've accidentally caused stainless steel(a spoon) to rust badly when I left it some clay I got from a beach. I think it might be some salt or some corrosive compound in the whitish grey clay but holy crap I'm keeping that away from my valuables.
Buen video gracias
will regular frenches mustard work?
Yes
Would this work on brass?
+Coyotemtnoutdoors It actually would.
i am gonna do this to all my non- chrome tools
will the forced patina begin to wear off through use (battoning,heavy cutting,etc) if so is there a coating you could recommend? thanks
Either bake the mustard in the oven while it's on the knife at 170-180 degrees for like 5-10 minutes so it really gets on, or you Gould apply mustard, then put the knife in white vinegar for a while (an hour or two)
how long you let the mustard leaf?
about an hour
Doesn't creating that pattern leave your blade unprotected since the patina forms on parts of the knife but not on other parts?
Would it work to put the whole blade in vinegar for 30 mins after this patina is formed? That should grey the rest of the blade. Anybody tried this?
Welther47 I personally have not tried it but that is an interesting proposition. Might give it a go
Welther47 maybe lemon juice
ive heard that u can use hot vinegar to make a base layer then pattern with the mustard
Check the video from Gavko knives. He did the mustard first in a painted "tiger stripe " pattern. After cleaning, he then did the whole blade in vinegar. That way, the entire surface had a patina.
Nice
Wow man really cool video thank you so much about the info,
gonna try it out right now :)

Could I do this with a stainless steel knife?
+Ben Strelkov
Not very well, stainless steel contains chromium which prevents the iron from reacting with anything (unless the chromium content is very low and/or carbon very high)

+Ben Strelkov Duh, STAINLESS steel...get it?
If you want to effectively etch a ss knife, try using a stronger acid like ferric chloride.
You only used steel wool on one side?
No watch again.
I'm trying this with Lemon juice
would this work on stainless steel?
solo mostaza?
Wow. It seems to work okay with the crappy American style mustard. I've been using real mustard, but the crap in the squeezy bottle is far cheaper
+mellowb1rd What's the difference between "American" mustard, and your so called "Real mustard"?
Randomus Maximus Real mustard isn't safety yellow in color.
I'm trying it with mayonnaise
oxidation mate, not "oxidization". Other than that, that was pretty awesome. Might give it a try. Thumbs up!
Jerome Gil Tibon You should start a brigade of grammar police. Then, you could get paid to go to the comment section, on every video you watch, and go around correcting everything everyone says, even if you understood what they meant or not. It doesn't even have to pertain to the subject!! Hell, you might be able to get taxpayer funding and live of the dole. This could be your break into a career in politics!!! Congratulations on being the next president!!! You're a genius!!!
ashley covey why stop at 3 exclamation points? Just wondering what's your thought process there
Looks yellow to me.
This doesn't work on stainless steel, because they simply wont stain, get it? They dont stain
Ok i'll show myself out
Cringe worthy erasing segment
*blows*
Wait....So let me get this straight... You clean/sand off the natural patina just to put on a fake patina?.... Not going to lie to you in my opinion removing a real genuine patina to put on a faux patina is kinda lame and well... fake...
What was on there before as not a patina,it was actual rust in large clusters. That crap is what causes the pits on the metals surface. The patina he put on it is a preventative measure against the "patina" he removed.
Randomus Maximus UNIFORM patina....
that came out shity dude
Pretty cool man.
