midnight 657 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 That's a stainless blade . I'm pretty sure you can't patina it ?? Most the household food products , brown sauce , mustard , Lemmon , are either alkaline or acidic reactions to the steel . Lemon is acidic . For etching or a mark you are going to need really strong acid to even touch it . The acids I use to etch my Damascus don't even touch stainless . I have to use watered down battery acid to etch it .. You need a nice properly heat treated carbon steel blade . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
