I agree

I like my knives like I like my women, stripped naked. Just kidding!

Here is my 7 after grinding off the thumb ramp, stripping, and forcing a patina.

What did you use for patina? I really like the look of that.

I just soak a paper towel in vinegar and wrap it around the knife making sure not to have any wrinkles. Let it hang until it dries and it will look all rusty and awful. Then you use some fine steel wool to take off the rust and there will be a nice finish like this underneath.
