Mango Patina on a Bushcraft Triflex

[tknife]

Looks great :thumbup: I grab fresh mangoes whenever I can, I love 'em! They do make for a great patina too. I think I have used all of my knives at one time or another to cut up mango.

Moose,

thanks for the review

How much sharpening did you need to get to the harder steel?

Lookin' good brother.

Thanks, man. Did I mention I get kickbacks from the mango industry for posting these threads?

The Mango Growers Association just sent me another check.

Have you tried mustard for a patina?

your knife would be a lucky mustard...

Works well, but darker. Doesn't display all the colors like mango.

How is the MIKI? I like the handle shape on those but missed out when they were available.

I think the Miki handles well. Good, but just different.
Found a clearance deal, and I bulk ordered several to cut down on the overseas shipping.
Sold all the extras but this one, however.

Very nice, looks more natural than a vinegar one

I hope it won't bother anyone that I'm bringing this back from the dead. I just found it using the search engine and loved it!

So, how long do you leave the mango juice on the blade and do you have to do anything special to remove it at the end? Would it work on larger knives to just cut a mango in half and rub it on?
