You can achieve a patina (bluish/grey)
on carbon blades with an acidic liquid. Soak the blade in
vinegar, or just cut citrus fruits with it. The patina will
help protect the metal from rusting. Carbon blades will always
need a little TLC! Purchase a stainless steel blade model if
you are in need of a carefree knife.
