Lol the running commentary is funny. I never was interested in the shipwreck look but lately that's been changing and this is a great way to see how it's done.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I really like the forced patina look. I’ve done several knives as gifts and it’s fun to give folks something that is truly unique.
Ask as many questions as you’d like!! Absolutely you can patina SW scales. You just want to get them clean, you could sand off the outer finish easily, but I wouldn’t mess with it, it’ll look killer without a ton of prep.
@olbubs the scales are brand new ive only manipulated them with gloves. Was thinking of cleaning with brasso and finishing with microfiber cloth /leather strop I was thinking of trying to patina over the stonewash instead of sanding it down but I also dont want to mess up the scales
I don’t think the clear ammonia vs yellow ammonia makes a different patina, but the type of salt you use definitely can make a difference in the green vs blue hue you end up with.
When I see videos and pictures of shipwreck patina, the thick oxide areas appear really blue, but whenever I patina something it comes out more teal, closer to green.
My non vetted theory is that different salt types and concentrations vary the color from blue to green. It’s fun that copper is capable of such a spectrum of color. Thanks for watching!

If you don’t know what that smells like - you’re that friend! 😂😂
The scales turned out amazing! Great work!!
So true!
Looks awesome and thumb studs too 👍🏻
Somewhere in the house I have pm2 with cooper scales 🤔
Get er dun!! I did a couple para 3's as gifts and they came out great!
Do you have to clear coat?
You really do, the corrosion is a bumpy texture and without the clear coat will scratch off in your pocket over time.
Final question I just got some flytanium copper scales for my 940 they look like they have a stonewash can I still patina them?

Follow your heart! Either way will look great, but there will always be subtle differences.
Yes, and if you want them to glisten you can consider buffing and polishing them before patina
Do different scents change patina ? I noticed usually people use clear ammonia

@olbubs ok thanks, and are there different strenght/concentrations of amonia
@@gabrielarchambault8034 there are, but most things you find in a grocery aisle will be pretty similar.
