Maxamet long term edge retention testing.

91Bravo,
Tell me a little more about that forced patina please.
1. Did you dunk the whole knife, enough to cover the blade tang or just the blade without its tang? I wonder if the patina can effect the pivot function?
2. Has the patina helped to prevent or slow rust?
3. If you got vinegar into the pivot, how did you neutralize the acid when done?
Thanks

PS It looks great

I just dipped the knife into a cup of vinegar up to the plunge grind. Nothing in the pivot. Yes, it has helped prevented rust. It continues to patina as I cut lots of fruit with this knife.
 
I missed this thread until now, but it is really interesting. I love the dark red apple vinegar patina look on your blade. I normally go as stainless as possible, but I am going to do some Maxamet Googling.
 
I cant wait for a military in this steel. Depending on the handle color, I may make a Ti frankenMillie out of it
 
Mee too! I have an extra S90V and that swap or into full Ti would probably happen pretty quick.
