It's my birthday today and my wife gives me my birthday present this morning, a case yellow CV peanut. I got a cheap Chinese peanut a while back to see if I like the pattern and it helped me get use to carrying a slip-joint due to it's small size, it's barely noticeable in a pocket. I told her if I liked the peanut I would get another one someday in a USA name brand. Much to my surprise I get that very thing this morning, boy am I one happy camper.
 
You married well, CKF!!
And Happy Birthday!
 
Here's to good wives. I have the best of the bunch, but yours sounds pretty good, too!
 
Happy birthday and congradulations on the new knife. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:


Not bad consolation for being yet another year older; getting the best pocket knife out there from the better half. A yellow CV peanut is the best! Don't get any more classic than that.

Now get to work on that patina.:D
 
Question is, do I force the patina with something like an orange, apple or even vinegar or do I let it form naturally? I have forced patina's in the past because I don't like the little spots of rust (really fine) instead of a patina forming. I detest rust and it's drives me nuts when other stainless steels and bead blasted steels get rust spots on them. Any suggestions?
 
Happy Birthday and many happy returns.......:)
Your wife is a smart lady........enjoy;)
 
Dr Pepper. Fruits have always left spots for me.

But CV will get spots, but if you let it patina, it will mellow out.

God Bless

Go eat an apple, or peel an orange with it. Hey, its a healthy snack, right?

The patina will keep those little rust spots away.

Or you can go fishing. For some reason, gutting panfish leaves a really nice, almost irridesent blue patina on the blade. Goes well with the yellow handles. But then any patina goes with the yellow handles. It gets very classic looking the more you use it and it darkens.
 
Happy Birthday. May you have a great year!

An excellent wife, who can find?

Looks like you found one.

Eat a bunch of fruit with it (get the blades clean and completely oil-free first). If guys who think forcing a patina is bogus ask you if you're forcing a patina, say no. If guys who think forcing a patina is a wise idea ask if you're forcing a patina, say yes. :)
 
BTW as far as patina... If you like to barbeque, I got a great one on my cv Soddie BBQing pork ribs and chops. Cut the meat raw and as it is cooking, you get some of that iridescent blue that jackknife was talking about. Careful tho, a peanut might get you too close to the heat.:D
