Photos Patina thread

A wonderful gift from a generous member of the Porch (you know who you are).
It was new when I received it... But it gets used probably more than any other knife I own.

Who doesn't love an old patina covered blade with a fresh edge.

Sometimes I do mirror edges just because it looks so good on a blade with lots of patina.

Here is a well earned dark patina on an old Western F66.

Looks a treat Jeff and the aluminium pommel has held up well. When they start to 'patina' it can look less than pleasant metal polish will fix it but can be hard work

Thanks, Will, I was fortunate to find one in such good condition, including a near mint sheath.

Well to give a bit of background to why the 44 has acquired such patina in a short period, my two front upper teeth aren't real. Yep,I have to glue the suckers in every morning. So to that end some foods prove a challenge to eat without loosening them. So I regularly cut my food into more manageable peices. Well the 44 has taken pretty much a permanent spot on my belt. So its become my defacto meal knife. I use it for other tasks of course,but sure is nice to know I always have a clean SHARP knife at hand. And one that doesn't frighten the sheeple

David, that's real talk. I like the 44 clip for cutting food too. What kind of belt sheath do you carry it in?

When Randy gifted me this knife he included this GEC sheath, which resides between whichever fixed blade I'm carrying and my cell phone case.

It works very well and could accommodate knives a bit bigger than the 44 as well.

Mine it's like a new canvas every day, it changes after every meal ! I don't know if it will keep doing this or if it will settle, we'll find out
