Looks sorta like this one, which may be moving from patina to rust. Maybe "patina" is just a fancy name for light oxidation or rust.

There are a lot more of knives with a knife in my drawers... Would be too much to show here. Just a little show-off...

Kind regards

Don't have any more recent pics. But had an interesting patina experience with my SBJ. It's looked just about the same as in the following pic for months now. Cutting fruit almost daily and not really getting any darker or more pronounced. Then I lopped the top 'stem' off of a banana, through the peel, and set it down for less than a minute and it got some REALLY dark spots in that short time frame. Not sure if there is some acid in the peel or something that made it act so fast, but it was faster than even lemon patina from what I've seen....

Proudest of this patina, mainly because I got to watch it go from a new shiny blade to something I enjoy using.
