Thank you so much for the lengthy reply and explanation. I really appreciate it, David.
Noted that I cannot make the stonewashed/tumbled finished on S110V darker, using those materials/liquids that I listed above.
But, (I know that you might have answered this question. I just want to make sure again) those materials/liquids that I mentioned above, do they make the already existing/original stonewashed/tumbled finished color on the the S110V become lighter/duller/faded?
The reason why I asked you this is because I have already used those materials/liquids (Not all at once though. I used WD40 for day 1. I used alcohol for day 2. I used acetone for day 3, and then I used baking soda mixed with WD40 to coat the blade & waited for a few hours, and then I wiped it off the blade. I used acetone, and then normal temperature vinegar for day 4. I used acetone, and then hot vinegar for day 5, and I let it sit for a minute or two before I wiped it off the blade) on my stonewashed/tumbled S110V blade, and I feel that the stonewashed/tumbled color becomes duller/lighter, but I am not sure. I forgot to inspect the stonewashed color before I did those methods (Stupid me). I did compare the pictures of the blade before I did those methods and after I did those methods, but I still can't tell for sure if it is become duller/faded or not.
Thank you for your help, David.
