I honestly dont know what I want more in that pic......

The bk 9 or the steak mmmmmm
 
You have some delicious looking beef there sir :thumbup:! I say that in a completely heterosexual way haha
 
I agree with Moose on this one. I did a couple of forced patinas but have decided that it's just not for me. I've been using my 5 in the kitchen for a while now & it's starting to look pretty good. My 14 gets used nearly every day so it's looking like it should - used but not abused. :thumbup:

The 5 in action:

Ribs fresh off the grill!
 
Yeah, I've added a patina 2x and taken it off 2x. I've decided I am going to let the patina be created with memories.
 
Hell yeah man!!!! I love that purple cutting board!!!!

I always say that blood gives the best patina.

I've done the same with my 11.
Some patinas look cool, but after letting the 5 patina naturally, I think it looks better.
Good to see ya gettin back in the fold Moose!
 
I've made patinas and earned patinas. I prefer earned ones because you have memories tied up in every millimeter of patina, but with a forced one you don't have any memories made to go along with the knife.
 
I just discovered that A-1 Steak sauce leaves a GREAT patina on my once-shiny Sharpfinger! :thumbup:

Patinas never last for me. I've since stopped trying to keep one and just let the blade retain whatever patina it wants.

Yup.

I have yet to have a single blade coating that has lasted. Even a patina, which, is a what I consider, just using the knife. Once you start cutting down trees, splitting wood, and shaving bark, they go away.

One good thing, they do come back.

damn crewdawg, that's a nice looking pattern. Was it done by soaking the blade on the A1 or just from active, repeated cutting of steaks? I stopped forcing patinas for a while now. In fact I'm leaving factory (gasp!) coats on my 5 and 17...for now...do like blueing, tho.
