When I received this Bullard the blade was patinated and had numerous small pepper spots. I’ve since given it several flitz sessions which has given the blade back much of its shine but many of the spots remain. For my photos I overexpose the blade and edit out some of the spots but if you look you can still see them. Use this as a before photo from today and after steak tonight we’ll see how the patina changes the look

Edit: steak patina is blue . I was surprised at how quickly the A2 steel gained the patina
