I have been using my 5160 110 since it arrived. I can't seem to leave home without throwing it on my belt. I have been using it on everything food related that I come across desperately waiting for that nice patina to start forming. I will say this, 5160 is taking much longer to patina than the 1095 that I'm used to.
BUT, it has finally started to show.

Now it's not the dark grey with the blue and orange hues that I have come to love, but its getting there.

So, anyone else been using their carbon steel Bucks?

Can't help ya just yet. Have a 119 6160 inbound though.

Cut up some raw potatoes. I have found they will patina a blade mighty fast.
 
I've no plans on using mine anytime soon. Too many other users.
It will be interesting to see 110s with patinaed blades in the future though. :thumbup:
 
I think that patina is a noun and not a verb so you cannot add an ed to the end. If I remember rightly, the verb form is patinate so the past tense would be patinated.

I would love to have a 110 in 5160. I like carbon steel, generally.

Doc,

I believe you are correct. But that is quite a ways past my participle!

Eh, I may be a tad bit grammatically challenged, but it is what it is. I knew that patinad wasn't a word, but I had a feeling folks would understand.

I can if I want to...especially when it's used as an adjective describing a noun.
My English teacher always said I was 34th out of a class of 32 kids. :D

Grammar lessons aside, it will be interesting to see what these Buck 110s look like when they have a patinaed blade like some of my old kitchen knives.
 
I knows all dat cos I grad-ge-ated the sixth graid. Only took three years.
 
only patina my Bucks are capable of getting is on the bolsters. My 110's are too new to get any yet, but my 301 and 389 are coming along nicely. The "nickel silver" is turning a nice dull brassy yellow.

I like the way this is starting to color.
 
Haven't used mine yet. Cool though.

This one had oak covers that I didn't care for.
I just finished making it the way I want.
It will now go into my pile of users and I'll try to remember to post here when it does patina. :)

Oh my, that turned out nice! Wow, I can't stop looking at it. I'm not sure I would be able to let it patina now. This will be interesting to see.
