I was thinking of eventually rebluing my DD Special as most of the blue has worn off. I had a spare Wapi blade lying around so I tried cold bluing the tang with some 20+ year old Hoppes 9 I had. I applied two coats as per instructions after degreasing with rubbing alcohol. This is the result and it looks better than the photo.

If anyone is doing this, how many applications do you use to get a deep even blue and how well does it last? Just looking for any useful tips really.
