Before and after shots...traditional of course!

[YellowSwiss]

Okee dokee ladies and gents. If you took a shot of your traditional when new, let's see a shot of it then (when still all purdy) and a shot of it now (rode hard and put away wet). Did you let it patina? Keep it polished? Treat it rough, or keep it pristine? Does it look like the knife of apocolypse, or did it come out smelling like a rose? Let's share em!
