Ah! Gotta love the growing patina!

Loving this knife more and more every time I use it. Truly my pride and joy. :thumbup: I just realized my patina is coming along quite nicely, figured I'd share a few pics

As you can tell, I haven't really touched the edge in a while, gonna strop it up a lil now

Thanks again, Nick, for a superb knife!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I will be adding more in-use pictures soon...now that I have my gf's digicam again

Thanks Nick The camera is just a simple Canon point and shoot (powershot), but it gets the job done for now :thumbup: One of these days I'm going to save up for a nice DSLR....

I've got a Fiddleback on order now, but after that, I'm gonna talk with you about my next knife from you.:thumbup: I'm thinking it'll be a modified scout: maybe 4.5" blade length, a slightly more dropped point and more gradual belly for a pointer tip, taller/thicker handle overall - but especially around the index and middle finger areas for me, and maybe extended tang for firesteel striking.

THAT looks AWESOME!!!!! Can't wait to see more pics!!!

Stump

Thanks Stump

Looking good :thumbup: I think the patina on my Scout is about as dark as it can get. It's almost black but never a single spot of rust. The new blades fresh from Nick look awesome, especially the temper line. But once they start to darken, they look cool like a well worn leather jacket

Yeah, the new blades look great with the hamon :thumbup:

But I am indeed liking the character development.
