Interesting story about this one - that dark patina is from the knife sitting literally for two years full of pumpkin guts. My ol lady used it to carve a jack-o-lantern one year for Halloween and I couldn’t find it afterward.

I asked her about it a couple times and she couldn’t remember where she put it. I found it up in a cabinet a couple years later with crusty, dried pumpkin guts all over it. I pulled it open expecting the worst.

To my surprise it just had a nice, dark patina. It had a patina before this, but nowhere near as dark. I cleaned it out, sharpened it up, and put it right back in my pocket.

Photographic evidence I shot the day of the offense:

T is for Titanium (oh, and I guess Timascus too:D)

When I started seriously accumulating knives Ti was still a pretty rare and exotic material for knife construction (the same can be said for carbon fiber.) With the exception of the Sebenza, Missions, a couple of Bokers and maybe one or two others it was pretty much limited to custom makers’ use. Nowadays it’s rare to find a production folder that doesn’t incorporate Ti in it’s construction and I’ll admit to marveling at the sheer number of fantastic designs that are available. And while I do truly love so many of the anodized and milled ones out there to this day there is still something about plain grey blasted Titanium that just does it for me and it remains my absolute favorite folder handle material.
