#Mustard patina how to#
The first section details how to create a rippled pattern, and the basics to create any patterned patina you want, basically. If you want a nice patina take it apart and put mustard or soak it in vinegar for.
This guide will be split into two sections. Cruwear is much more resistant to any patina or rust than say M4. Over time, a natural patina colorization will develop over the mustard patina. A patina is a protective coating of blue rust that prevents the creation of bad 'red' rust, which is the red/orange nasty rust you see on old car wrecks and whatnot. It should never be left wet or sitting in a wet sink. Since carbon steels can rust easily, your blade should be wiped dry after every use and never stored in a sheath. This steel needs attention and care with every use.

This is personal - to some it may not be a big deal, but to me, as a serious home cook and private chef, it is a potential deal breaker. That's why I currently prefer: A) single steel knives, like the Kono white #2 & Yusuke white #2, or some stainless or semi-stainless variety B) clad knives that are clad in stainless or semi-stainless steel C) clad knives that are clad in a metal that will take a patina to limit reactivity. Many san mai knives are clad w/ cheap, soft iron or steel (don't know the varieties) that rust easily and react badly. In my limited experience and knowledge, I find that the cladding of a knife can react to food more than the actually cutting edge, or core, metal.
