Darken a D2 Knife (self.knives)

submitted 1 year ago by JaasBaas to c/[email protected]

I am very new to the knife collecting world. I currently have a D2 knife that I carry daily but I wanted to know what would be the best way to darken the color of the blade and potentially provide more corrosion resistance as well. I'm considering acid-etching but have also heard you could soak a knife in vinegar as well.

What would be the best option here? Any help is appreciated.

Sorry I never got a notification for this but thanks for the tips. I'll have to give it a try on my D2 knife. I'll probably go the proper ferric chloride route because I also just purchased a new knife that's 14C28N that I'll want to do once I get some practice.
