Is that rust or patina?

[SterlingArcher]

Yeah...that's rust.

That's more like it! Just needs a new edge now.

Nice cleanup. Those are good knives.

 

[Fred Sanford]

Hahahaha. Was wondering if you were looking for rust.................or patina?

End result looks good. I would say that the first pics are rust for sure though.

Nice job on the clean up. Now use the heck out of it.

 

[Mister Coffee]

Nice job, sir.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Thanks, guys.

Yup ! I agree , the before pics are straight out aggressive rust .

Brown, scaly , bubbly corrosion is frank rust . It will eat steel to destruction if not stopped .

If it's on a knife you're trying to buy: it's rust.
If it's on a knife you're trying to sell: it's patina.
