Knives and Boots

Just shined up my old, indestructible, Dutch-made boots. Ready to start riding the bike to work with this great weather 👍

I carry the Opinel to cut baguettes and cold meats; I love having it in my bag!

Thanks Dave! I conditioned them with some Red Wing Leather Cream, and they darkened up quite a bit. I’m not sure if they’re going to stay like that, or lighten back up. 🤷🏻
In my experience, they will lighten up slowly as they dry out. Keep reapplying that salve and they will get better and better with time and wear. Hard to beat a good pair of boots.

Certain oils/creams/conditioners darken, others dont. Just depends on what you want. Bick 4 is an extremely common one that doesnt darken at all, and i tend to use that most of the time.
