I like the cooking shed and entertainment area. Simple and effective. I use old Hickory knives myself.

Thank you it's appreciated! Awesome enjoy :)

Finally a comprehensive video about putting a patina on AND off! I love my natural, grey and blue shining patina, but I got some ugly, brown ish looking mustard stains on my eating Old Bear S, that I want to get rid off.

Patina can be done with mustard to give a swirl look. You can also clean your blade by soaking in citric acid, 3 tablespoons in a mason jar filled with water to the level of top of blade, if wooden handles. If handles are plastic dosent hurt them. Let sit for an 30 minutes to hour. Blade will have a black look. Rinse and wipe off. Soak a paper towel in white vinegar wrap it around entire blade. Cover with plastic wrap and leave set an hour or so. Your carbon steel blade will have patina.

What’s the difference between vinegar and citric acid . Vinegar adds a patina and citric acid removes them. Are they not both acidic compounds ?

@SmokeyRebel

Hey Dan, yes that’s correct. Vinegar is a weaker acid so causes the reaction, where the solution of citric acid has a higher concentration so blasts the carbon. You see the reaction on bare carbon steel when cutting lime/lemons. Vinegar or mustard gives you a better control and finish with it being milder :)

@@itellsri no worries:) never boiled it myself. If you are after a deeper and longer lasting finish I would go Mustard, keep meaning to do a vid. But check out my Instagram instagram.com/p/CLXVu-Ehksw/? you will see the finish :)

I don’t use oil after myself and they hold up well :) Little oil won’t hurt if you wish to add a little more protection, use a cooking oil if you are going to cut food :)

Can I clean my patina with just squeezed citrus and hot water in the manor you did with powdered citric

Hey 👋 yes, I find the powered citric a bit easier to judge for the finish 😃

Do you live in the states? I hear the accent, but this reminds me of the states: The cowboy hat, the set up, and the talk of fending off bears. :)

Been lucky to travel all over the states, I love the Culture and wild America. The hat (and a few other bits) I picked up on one of the visits. Only thing I fend off here in Kent England is Wood pigeons 🤣
