You guys know what maybe means, don't you....

Yeah, it means we get to watch from the sidelines.

Pay 50% more on the secondary market?

Pay 50% more on the secondary market?

Wait, it means I have more money left over to get something else.... that's also on the secondary market for 50% more

The Precious... 7 months of 100% EDC

Awesome knife, ranchman. Can we see the entire blade?

(Just paid for my single BW 77 spear!)

 

[Sonnemann]

That's some good patina.

 

[Will Power]

I agree Shaggy, the whole blade would be interesting .:thumbup:

Looks like developments on my single-Ivory Bone too, appreciate it a lot Brett

Thanks, Will

The spine of the blade and area exposed in the pocket is where it's the darkest - the spring especially, which is nearly black. Moisture from perspiration in the pocket of my jeans or cargo pants is what does it apparently. I live in the high desert, so humidity is low here generally (anywhere from 5% to 50% is average probably).

What you see is just from pocket and using it for typical things. I've not attempted to enhance or remove any patina.

Congrats on your 77 spear in AB. To say I love my sheepfoot 77 would be an understatement. It's never left my pocket since it came out of the tube at the Post Office in mid-February. I've let it age as it will and use it for everything.

^^^ Ha thanks Sean Here it is another month later

I like how the edge of the bolster is still shiny enough to reflect the "made in usa". Obviously, that area never gets dirtied up in use and the nickel silver doesn't patina.

I'll have 2 micarta single blades [emoji16]

The Made in USA is not exposed when the knife is closed and in my pocket. Perspiration in the pocket is a major contributor to how dark the spine and part of the blade have become. The spring is virtually black.

I also ordered the single blade in natural canvas.

 

[paulhilborn]

Jeff, love that natural aging Buddy

Autumn gold on the way - I hope I can get a stag and red bone too to decide what I love the best.

 

[gastonian]

Single blade red sawcut bone on the way!!!

 

[Blackthorne45]

Had a Red and an Ivory reserved but had to back out on the Ivory.
Unforseen expenses, I shouldn't have bought the red but I did.

 

[jprime84]

Did the early reserve email for sawcut bone go out already? I did not get one

 

[cbr1000]

Yes, call Mark.
