Thanks to Andy and all Fiddleback Forge guys. I've had various hobbies "AKA addictions" and Fiddleback Friday is certainly the most fun buying processes I've had. Hope to try again next week.

2014 0530 16 – Sneaky Pete with Honduran Rosewood over black g10 with white pinstripes, SFT tang, convex on 1/8” spalted 01 steel - $290

And #4. Might be a new record my friend. Thank you!

Hey Ken....did you find out what the final situation was with the blued blades and "food"?

I don't have a definitive answer as of yet. Given the relative importance of it we didn't want to post an answer until we were sure. We're going to ask around and get more information. Generally, we felt that they are safe. It is an acid etch happening on the steel, and once the bluing has been removed and the reaction neutralized (with ammonia) - technically all that is left is an inert piece of steel. We wash them quite thoroughly here in the shop, and then apply rust preventative. It is not a surface 'coating' so there isn't anything to be removed onto your food. But we'd like to research it more and get a concrete answer that we trust and are comfortable with. From a safety perspective, as it stands now, we would have to say - "We don't know."

In the meantime we recommend Windexing your food prior to consumption. :barf:

I actually withdrew the HB in post #26, but if nobody else wants to claim it... I'd hate to let it not end up at a good home!

HAHAHAHA. awesome.

Just a heads up for everyone, I put some oil on the blued camp knife last night and gave it a thorough wiping to see what would happen. Not a drop came off that thing. The towel was as clean as when I started. I think we're okay too. but I appreciate you checking in to it.

this is a given and a condiment of choice!

 

[xxkcxx]

People must never had handled an asp.... They are awesome I have owned at least three! I would buy that ironwood one if I didn't value my marriage!

Yep been through four; kept the fourth. A while back I mentioned that a 5/32" swedgeless asp functions an awful lot like a kephart; just with a better handle design (IMO).

Unless you were using HCN as your acid and not cleaning it we should be safe
