Never seen that effect before - looks like camo - very cool.

Thanks! I didn't know what I would get, but it turned out cool

Here's my first patina I tried.
My Taz Rat. I used Vinegar and Trader Joe's Spicy Brown Mustard
I wanted Tiger Stripes...I got a mess...I still love it
Regrind by Josh at REK...it DOES cut!

My Rodent Rucki
Born of Trader Joe's Spicy Brown Mustard and countless palm tree fronds
and various shrubbery...

Shrubbery?? Not that inexpensive nice looking one I hope...

It’s a Dog, but after 13 years as a dedicated kitchen knife the colors are incredible on the patina

Mega Ratweiler... one winter's worth of chopping and batoning.

This is such a sexy blade... not sure why, just is.

How did the edge hold up? It has a relatively thin cross section about half a inch from the Apex for such a heavy blade.

The edge held up well. A quick go on a butcher's steel and it's shaving again.

Just some stages of patina over the months of edc use with this little scrapivore LE. Gave it some tlc and a nice forced patina lastnght as the exposed handle portion when sheathed was starting to get a little rusty from my sweat etc while carrying. The extra hard sr101 on the le has stayed shaving sharp with just regular stropings on a leather belt

Just some casual edc patina forming fun. Mega warden hiding in a big tree and swinging in a bamboo forrest

 

[ScoMa]

That tree offers some good camo for the Mega Warden!

That tree offers some good camp for the Mega Warden!

Wow - I remember when this contest started and I’d just started playing with my SawManDu. It has since become my go-to big knife and I love it. We have a little fire-pit on the deck and for the last…almost a year!?! - it has been feeding the fire with kindling. The patina is essentially in homeostasis now - it’s still evolving slowly but there is so much texture it’s difficult to detect the changes…

I like how you can see the sawtooth notches imprinted in the baton stick!
