This one sure is getting more colorful. It seems to me that Case gets brighter colors in its patina vs GEC. They both look great, but Case seems to get brighter colors- at least in the beginning.

Awesome knife. I searched for this config and couldn't figure it out. Can you tell me cover material and the gec number?

That is a red linen Micarta 71 Special Factory Assembly that I bought at the 2023 GEC Rendezvous. These will be listed when the 2023 Production totals are released. There were quite a few cool SFA‘s this year.

Well that makes sense why I couldn’t find it!

Bergamasco (don't know model/pattern) is finally starting to patina.
Case 3318CV is starting to show signs ... may not show in the photo though ...

This pic was sent to me from a friend and good customer. A Horsewright Paisano in 26C3 with buckeye burl, along with the oak carved sheath and flower carved chaps.

I’m just getting started with this one, but nothing like a fresh edge to highlight the young patina.

Did some forced patina to the cinnamon bone stag RR2427, tonight. Turned out pretty decent I think.View attachment 2457989View attachment 2457991View attachment 2457990

This Bull Nose is coming along. I haven't done anything to enhance the patina. Just carry and use it frequently.
