My first 2 bk11s are due to be delivered Monday or Tuesday so let the modding begin.
The first one will most likely be an edc for me. So it will see quite varried uses including.
☆some utility use opening boxes, mail, etc.
☆a fair amt of food prep and utensil duty.
☆skinning/cleaning deer (as season opens here tomorrow)
☆skinning/cleaning small game
☆cleaning fish sometimes.
☆last but not least camping duties.
Not to say it will the primary knife for all of these activities but being that it wil be close at hand it will be what I reach for in the unexpected pops up.
So now that you know what kind of action it will see my question is what type of finish would you recommend or prefer.
☆mirror polish - I liked this idea at first but decided it would be nearly impossible to keep looking good Dominica with food prep and acidic vegetables.
☆semi polish and allow to patina gracefully - kind of like this idea
☆forced patina - mustard, hot sauce, hot vinager, bleach, blurring, etc I have seen results from hot vinager and from the bleach and blurring thatbis really was impressed with.
☆straight up blueing - I've also seen impressive results from this.
☆something I have listed
So which would you recommend considering the uses it will see?
