The knife looks a whole lot better than the photo does. Fine looking knife as a matter of fact.

Thanks for the comments, grease-man apply cold blue solution and dip in bleach right away, rinse well and buff with steel wool. repeat as needed, then rinse with baking soda or TSP. Look in search under "patina" .

Rocketmann, that's a great looking knife, especially for #4! Your pictue is a little dark however and makes it hard to see the details. I hope you won't mind, but I lightened it up a little with photoshop.
