Honestly the crisp and clear instructional DIY video I have come across youtube. Really appreciate. Being from India, where there is a huge trekking/ camping/ bushcraft scope, but hardly people know and have a culture of bushcraft, I really depend more on youtube to get ideas. Being a knife lover I depend completely on USA based online stores to buy and improve my collection. And this video really has given great idea to work on. THANKS!!!!!!

That looks amazing I haven't think of something like that that looks awesome

I usually Mustard Patina all my hot dogs 🌭🍟🍔

Indio; brilliant...also...are you afraid that if you were a hotdog... you'd eat yourself? I know I would...I'd smother myself in "brown mustard and relish"...I'd be delicious... Many may not get this...Google "if you were a hotdog"

Me too it’s great at keeping the rust off !

FINALLY , a hatchet that goes good with relish!

I just had to say, who ever is her significant other, he or she is a lucky person. Looks great, likes art and likes blades. Second thanks for the info. First time I seen this channel and KZread did me right. I was looking to patina my BPS and to do it in a unique way. I know this is 4 years later, but I hope she is doing well and just wanted to say thank you again. Be blessed everyone, ✌️🦁

I love how that turned out. I'm going to try it. Thanks for sharing.

That looks good. Glad to see you doing so well. I met you at Blade 4 or 5 years ago before you started making knives. I think it's incredible that your having success with it. Congratulations.

That turned out pretty good! Great job Kaila!

We do this in the Society for Creative Anachronism to coat our knives, axes, and swords in our historical recreation hobby. Overly simplified terms, the mustard patina is actually a different kind of "rust" but prevents the normal red rusting. Once it oxidizes the vinegar/mustard, which again, prevents corrosive rusting, it will leave a blue sheen on the metal, It gave the nickname of "blue" steel you may have read in a Conan novel or comic book when you were a kid (well I did anyway, haha). As you can see Kaila display can be used to leave patterns but you also do a thin coating of mustard everywhere then heavier mustard where you want a design. FYI you can buy the big gallon size of generic mustard at your local grocer if you have a lot of metal to cover.

I enjoyed this video so much. I took your advice on this Scimitar. It was rusted and pitted. I sanded and sanded up to 1500. I used mustard, keeping in mind your "less is more" advice. I only let the mustard on for 2.5 hours. I was delighted! Then I brewed up some super strong coffee and soaked i5 in that. Thanks for helping me through this refurb. A fan Scottie R.

wonder if Frank's red hot hot sauce would work? Then you can truly say "I put that s$%t on everything"! lol

Badass! I'm definitely gonna have to try this with one of my moras. Good stuff, thanks for sharing!

That turned out nice and so easy! I have a few knives I'm going to try this on. Thanks!

Been wondering about that technique for a while. Thanks so much for posting the video. Definitely going to give it a try.

That’s cool, I’m gonna try it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your video.I like the way your ax turned out, so i just did my BK9 like a tiger stripe pattern and it came out pretty cool. Thank you again.

Wow!!! Stumbled across this by it being in my reccomended list. Totally bad ass!!! Gotta try it. Love that wicked tomahawk design. About to check out your channel. Thanks or the inspiration.

I love vinegar-mustard patina's on HC Steel. Great video!

Subscribed. I've got a 70's era Schrade Old Timer 152 Sharpfinger. I've got it restored and ready for a patina. I'm doing this with a vinager blueing after what you showed. I cant wait to see how it turns out. Thank you young lady. You ROCK !

Nice one Kaila, thanks for sharing it with us.

I didnt think I'd like that, but I love it! Great job!

Years ago I tried doing a mustard brown finish on a flintlock barrel I was refinishing. It turned out to be a blotchy mess but was easy enough to polish off. I ended up just blueing it after that failure, which the friend I was doing it for ended really loving. I have a couple of cheap flintlock pistols in need of some love, I might try browning again when I finally get around to them.

I did an estwing hachet I restored with mustard. Totaly covered it. It gave it a nice antique finish. Also did a stacked birchbark handle on it. It turned out great. I've got another one to do and will do a video on the process.

Kaila, that’s very cool looking. Great job.

What a great effect!! Great video!

How did i not find this channel sooner , it has 3 of my favorite things firstly women , food and cold hard steel.

That's awesome. Thank you for the "less is more" I thought it worked the opposite way.

Excellent idea. Excellent presentation. 👍👍

Try dipping it in a bath of distilled white vinegar afterward. It will give them an aged protective patina to go with the pattern.

Tried mustard on my apocholypse blade and due to the existing patina I got a lessened effect from the mustard however at least I know that a full patina does indeed protect the blade nicely

NF, I, for one, really like the patina she has created.

Love it , very cool , love your shop too - thanks for the info

This is the first vid I’ve seen of yours. I have to say excellent job! I’ve been making knives for a long time and that was a good trick!! Going to check out a few more if your vids!

I did my machete! It's been bashed around and looks 100 years old. I only did it for about half an hour. It looks extremely antique! Like it came out of a war. Lol.top video. Thanks for the tutorial. You explain everything perfectly. Cheers from Australia 👍👍👍

Thank you for sharing this process. Just attempted this for the first time.

Nice! Love the shirt too!

Great video, for a how to and nice results!

Looks really good!

Looks awesome!

Simple but effective. Well done!

Beautiful work. Nicely done! ❤🤘

Love it!

Wow thank you! Gonna try this sooner or later!

Good video you do good work every time I do a mustard patina I don’t like it and end up taking it off but it’s always fun to experiment with new stuff .

Interesting technique I'm going to try it on one of my 1095 knives I love to learn things like this

WOW LUV THIS IM GOING TO TRY THIS TONIGHT THANKS FOR THE VID

That's kinda cool have to try it thanks ✌👍😀

That is a really cool idea I will have to try it out

That’s so cool. Nice work

Used this on a Tanto Zombie Killer. Worked great! Thanks for the vid.

Looks good!

I tried this last week with yellow mustard and it came out frigging awesome.

I lovet!!!

So, in the beginning I thought I was going to hate this, but I have to say, I actually like this patina. Thanks for sharing this!

Awesome video I have got in to knife making and wanted to try reaching and will try this thank you

Cool, thanks for sharing your plethora of knowledge you have acquired.

Very cool. First mustard etch I’ve ever seen.

Wow! Super gorgeous and easy.

I enjoyed your video and that's a pretty innovative idea. I didn't know mustard would do that.

Neat idea and result. Thanks for sharing.

Damn, looks better than i was expecting! Ive used vinegar mixed with sand before(makes it clumpy to make a blotchy patina effect) and it gives a similar effect

That came out really good. 👌 Blessings from Scotland. 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️

That’s really cool!!!

So cool!

Hey that was cool gonna try it thanx for the vid keep rockin it!

Awesome, I'll be trying that.

Nice video and a cool idea! Thanks!

Awesome job, girl!

Love the hatchet

Wow..thanx so much 4 this video! I was 1 hr into soaking my dager in viniger when i saw this and did this on top..it looks so sick even 20min into it..great work, your work is as gorgeous as you

Looks good and for sure different

I could see a lot of potential with various patterns and artistry with this. I'll keep this in mind when I get around to making some blades. I got a lot of them bouncing around my brain, but getting ideas from my head to whatever medium I apply them to is a difficult task, for me. I'm not sure if I have a mild form of Asperger syndrome or some other mental disability or I'm just in a situation where I'm not in a good location to do what I want or not equipped to do so, or maybe a little of column A and B, but maybe I'll eventually get around to it

Awesome grind on that Hatchet !

After watching your video I tried it it works really well mater of fact after helped sell couple knives so I say thanks

Thanks for the tips !

Very cool. I like the random pattern. I am making my first knife and will try it on the blade.

Too cool Mustard who would have thought but being that it has vinegar in it, it makes sense been getting into blade smithing have only made about 4-5 blade's in about a year as I work 16 hr days but am always looking for good ideas thanks for sharing that I'll have to try that it looked pretty cool

Great video,thanks for sharing!

...and you can use baking soda to stabilize. Vinegar is low acid, if you don't stabilze it it continue to eat very slowly your stell and make nest for rust... So fun to use kitchen stuff for knifemaking :)

N&A brings me here.m you are one of my favorite Kaila..

I love your header image

Now that’s cool!

I used a damn pencil on a okc small game & fish knife lol... With spicy brown mustard & teraki bbq sauce.. love it

Nice ! Thank you ! Great idea

Looks great 👍

cool too see women doing blacksmithing

I love the design of the axe head

Nice one!

Mustard patina of high carbon steel can work extraordinary well and gives the blade a art like look and abstract art at that.

Wow! I had no idea mustard would do that!

That's very cool - thanks.

In my country, people traditionally adding patina in their golok/bedog by inserting the blade in the trunk of banana tree overnight. The acidic sap of the banana tree will give the bluish patina to the steel. The wet/green coconut fiber can also used for that purpose. And oh, did you create the tattoo in your hand by a mustard patina too?😁😁

wow i"m surprised how good it works and fast ! have you tried dipping all the way in mustard with pattern welded kinda like people do with coffee to get better contrast !?

so glad I found this video, will try for sure, looks like Damascus, sorta

Great work 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Interesting - I've never heard of this before. Cool.

Nice pattern!

Great video! I recently started making knives. 4 so far. My favorite is a 4.5" Drop Tip with Oak scales I carve myself. Mirror polished the blade only to find out I've been using the wrong steel. Lowe's Weldable steel. Wish I have gotten 1095 instead but it's too late now. I does what I expect from a knife I plan on abusing in my truck's tool box but when I used it to cut bar-b-que covered meat the steel changed colors and I had to sand it with 2500 grit sand paper to restore it. It also loses it's shine over time requiring me to hit it with 2500 sand paper again. Do you think I could keep it looking sweet by using your mustard patina method as a camoflage to hide the nasty discoloration humidity here in North Carolina subjects my crappy steel knife with? I was thinking of using gun bluing, black spray paint or just about anything to make it awesome looking again. Even after sanding it with 1500 grit to make it look somewhat satin, it still creates new imperfections in the finish. I will make a real knife with high carbon steel next time, I promise. But since it does cut, stab and chop good enough for my needs, I sure could use your opinion on the matter. I will send you before and after pictures once I figure out how on this laptop. I really like your patina idea and got an itch to do it.
