I have been sending some krises to be washed in warangan recently but I had one that I wanted to try to stain with coffee again.

I tried , after bringing the blade to a clean, after putting into coffee for 5 days the blade took a general , slightly, darker appearance with very very very faint staining here and there (although there probably was no “ pamor” to speak of).

Frankly speaking this is definitely my last attempt at staining a kris balde with coffee. It is simply not worth the effort and time.
