If, by "black staining", you mean "patina"; then potato juice is just one way to do it on purpose. Many knife users apply one on purpose, for looks and/or rust protection. Vinegar, potato, apple, mustard paste, lemon, and onion juice will also do it. I just made a post about it 2 days ago on B&B.

Sticky, for those of us who aren't *ahem* welcome at that other forum, could you put up that info here?

Basically the same as above with this additional paragraph (regarding "Vinegar bluing removal"):

I don't know any good way to remove it. CLR will remove it sometimes; but I suspect that CLR will remove the goldwash.

Ive used Naval Jelly, on one really rusty razor...it did work, but didnt meet my expectations. It still required alot of elbow-grease, but it did prevent the need for sandpaper...dont know if that is helpful.
