How To Maxamet forced patina

[coop7]

Hey I just got a Native 5 and decided to customize it a little bit. I’ve done a forced patina on 1095 before and used the same technique for Maxamet. First I removed the blade and then boiled some white vinegar in a coffee cup in the microwave. I wrapped the blade in a piece of paper towel and put it in the hot vinegar for about 10 minutes. This is the result! I also dyed the gray scales to a dark blue green. Really happy with how it turned out.

Looks better than most stain jobs we see here.
Now use the crap out of it and put on some real patina!

Very awesome!

I was really thinking about doing the same as you, but just letting natural form on mine
