I messaged Mr. Rader about how he forces a patina using mustard this was his reply
"Just take some simple mustard and dab it on with your finger. (Clean blade first w/rubbing alc.) Let dry for an hour or so in warm, dry air. Then wash off with soap and hot water. Repeat until you like it."
So is this how everyone else does it?
Can other acids be used insted of mustard?
Would the type of steel affect the patina?
Also post some pictures of your mustard patinas... or natural patinas!
