Forced patina,

Looking for some advice.

Just had my first try. I wiped the blade with white spirit and mixed mustard powder and water. Used a cotton bud to apply. Left it on for 2 and 1/2 hours. I was hoping it would of been a little darker but not black. Ideally a Damascus steel look. Thanks for any advice.

Avery fuzzy photo quickly taken of a blade with a pattern painted on with a brush (nail varnish). Nail varnish remover to clean it off after treetment.

The lettering was stick on letters from an Art Shop easily rubbed off afterwards.  Just some ideas for you.

Made in your part of the world.

I thought you would be able to spell it.

Thank you.

Plenty to think about there.
