Henk, with coconut juice...you'll get a faint pattern. With lime juice, you'll get a light contrasting effect. Most contrasting, would be lime juice with arsenic (but this process, can 'eat' the blade a little), depending on the blade material.

For a blade like Valjhun's, which had worn down, coconut juice is recommended, imo only.
