Bearers of that old 1095 patina

[Tim the Wizard]

I was just cleaning up the edge on this knife and realized it is the best example of a natural patina, developed over a year or two, within my entire collection.

I'd love it if some of you folks with more experience than I post up pics of your 1095 (others are welcome as well) patinated knives.

Thanks, that is exactly what I wanted to see.

That has seen some love and work. Do you know what year it was made?

Here are a couple.

I really like those blade profiles and the shield on the second knife. Thanks for posting them up.
