Only one I have now with patina I've applied myself through use is this on a GEC beavertail;

My only other carbon knife that I've carried much got a polished edge sharpening when I shelfed it, and it took 90% of the patina off.. Thats the price I pay for the polished / stropped edges that i like.. :(

These here are natural patina, from someone elses' use,

I didnt really force the patina but i sure as hell didnt try to combat it:D

p.s. was it standard on the 90's case to have recessed pins:confused: (my trapper)

I believe it was standard as mine has them also. See my pic above, it looks the same as yours.

I have an unused Sodbuster on the way to me, I'm looking forward to it earning a patina, hopefully one day it'll look as good as yours do guys!
