Morakniv. Anyone who spends anytime off their couch needs at least 3. I have 4. I like the Robust. I have to square the back edge also. I bout my wife the red one like in the video. I have 100's of knives. No boast. Seriously. I have been collecting for 40 years. I used to be the guy that needed 1/4 D2 steel that was a foot long. Now I have happily adapted all my kits with a Mora. Great Job.

@SensiblePrepper Thank you for the video! I followed your method. You mentioned and showed in the video that some discoloration occurs next to the handle. I noticed that while the knife is hanging, the small bubbles gather under the plastic part, they stuck then the patina can not form properly there. Moving the handle sometimes or lift it out for a moment helps. Greetings

And how does it hold up? I have seen a video where someone baton with the forced patina and it starts to come of just from the first piece of wood.

@dannylee5704 5 жыл бұрын

I just did 2 of these today and I found that by using very fine steel wool on the blade and cleaning it with an alcohol 1st aid patch that the finish was very even on the entire blade. Also I found the need on the 2nd blade to start with a fresh glass of vinegar. The reaction was very quick and allowing the vinegar air dry on the final dip kept the blade from streaking. I did the process 3 times on each blade. I also heated the vinegar in the microwave with good results. A beautiful blade with a very dark, almost blue in color.

@kevinruyle2541 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you for showing me the way. I used your method and had wonderful results.I didn't sharpen the back of my knife because I like to put my thumb on it when doing some bushcrafting. I use strikers anyway. I wrapped blackwidow paracord around a sparkforce firestarter on my sheath. I now have a new EDC sheath knife. I love it. Oh, I didn't say what knife. It's a Moraknife Robust. I always enjoy your videos.Not as cocky as some are. Be strong, God Bless

Great timing, I just filed a 90 edge on the spine of my Mora heavy duty companion, will be trying this patina technique. I have Moras in both my wife and I's BOBs and GHBs and recently gave one to my son to put in his "camping" bag. My wife made this long lanyard for my Mora Kansbol, took 37 feet of parachord and connects the knife and sheath...I should do a video on that.

Tried this method on my Mora basic 511 with a carbon steel blade and ended up with a sleek charcoal grey result just like in the video. I used boiling white vinegar (5% concentration) and did two rounds- left the knife in it for 50 minutes both times. Thank you for the idea!

Just got my MORAKNIV this afternoon, and since you made your video they've flattened the spine and put a nice drop on the point to eliminate the need for any filing. Two fifteen-minute soaks in boiled cider vinegar and I have a slick dark grey/black blade just that quick. Few drops of pistol lubericant and we are good to go. Thanks.

That worked great. I love how there's so many methods out there to achieve a forced patina. I've tested out over 7 different solutions (all common household supplies) and most work, but just take time. I want to find a quick method that doesn't require much fussing, just dip it leave it for a half hour and come back to a forced patina blade.

I used boiling apple cider vinegar, as you did, only no isopropyl alcohol as the knife was brand new ... but I don't think that's related.

It is very easy actually. I used some chili sauce with white vinegar in it. Applied some with my finger and let it sit in a kitchen towel.

when I file the backs of my Mora's spine I do it in one direction in my case to the left side of the blade as I am right handed. It gives a burr that aids in it's fire starting ability and I always hold that side away when using flint. Just an idea to try we always hold the knife the same way when striking a ferro rod so each side of the spine can serve a different purpose
