Gevo I always love your photos, great contrast. Vintage knives are like fine art in my opinion. Is that just a natural patina on all your knives?

Much appreciated kind words ! Natural as far as one could know with any certainty. I have forced maybe one or two for funsies...not my SOP. I am a purist for the most part and getting more so everyday :) Abate the rust and enjoy the Wabi-Sabi

(full disclosure...I have Primblized some in the past and it depends on the knife and my intention for it )

Why is it a grizzled old knife collector can appreciate "Old Cutaway" just the way it is:eek:, and not feel any compunction to "fix" it??? Beautiful Gev, as is the Marko Marko Polo!!:thumbsup:
:D
