Came here to get a Recluse to complete a trio. Ended up getting another knife, that now needs one more to make a trio...

Buy a Fiddleback they said. It will be fun they said.

Edit: Maille grain mustard is my new go-to for forcing a patina. I can't believe the "spalting" look it created after many short applications. Too bad it's going to mostly wear off after several uses and cleanings. Oh well, I still like to fast track a patina, and re-force them from time to time (ie: Hiking Buddy).

Both have certainly been used!
Sorry about the shitty light for the pic.
The little bit of shine along the edges is due to new set of microfibre strops and Dimond emulsions set… however, only the coursest has been used so far
