Someone gave me a $50 Walmart card, so I bought a Kershaw Skyline. Love it. It's perfect for EDC. Next, I want one with a Damascus blade.

I think logo is somehow painted, not laser etched... so a little polish should take it away.

It's an acid etch; same as they've been using on traditional knives for over a century. It'll gradually disappear with use as the carbon steel takes on a patina.

Today's ECD when it was new:

Same knife after about a year of regular carry and use. The steel and stag are both mellowing nicely (an aesthetic that your average stainless and G10 modern knife will never achieve):

These all seem to ride every day in my pockets, if I had to narrow it
down to only one, it would be the JunkYard Dog, very cool sharp knife!

Thanks for the clarification...

Nice patina on your knife, by the way... What do you use on it to prevent rust ?

Regards.

Clove oil or mineral oil is great for rust prevention and I put some on my stag/horn as well. I prefer clove oil myself, I like the smell and its never let me down.

got this in my pocket today :)
 
Its snowing hard here today and I had to out and about. Deciding that the feel of the day called for stout folder I went with my ZT 0500 MUDD. Of course as expected I didn't have to use it, haha, but it was nice knowing it was there.

I got this for Christmas from my girlfriend, she doesn’t know much about knives but a think she made a good choice whit this one, it’s a 511 Karambit Master model. It’s my first folding knife, I’ve always carried fixed blades, it’s going to be in my pocket for the rest of the month.
