Phenolic 119 in 5160 returns!

I ordered one when I saw this post. It came today. It's got the anvil 75th blade stamp. Very nice, I like it.

Mine arrived today.
There's some discoloration to the blade. So, I promptly oiled it.
No big deal.
I've missed this knife and have regretted selling the first one.

One thing about 5160, you have to commit to using it and accept that it will discolor when you do. And that's when they look the best.

I was afraid to use my first one, so it just sat in the drawer unloved.

I plan to put some patina on this one.
It's really a nice knife.
I like the weight. It goes well with a knife this size.

The grind on this is very well done. It's got some scratches on the blade.... Good. I plan to use it anyways.
Thanks Buck.
Please make more like this!

Wouldn’t mind a 105 and 124 in this configuration. Imagine the weight of the 124 😂

It definitely pays to put yourself on their email notification for items back in stock. I was lucky enough to be on my computer when the notification email arrived and broke a speed record for ordering.

Now comes the hard part... waiting for the dang order shipped notification, especially after seeing the pics that have been posted.

So here it is after a cider vinegar soak.
I like a natural patina.
But I was hoping for a more uniform color on this, so I did the vinegar soak.

I cleaned the blade well with alcohol first.
I was able to achieve this after 20 minutes.
I'm pleased with the results.

looks great.....as ya use it will get darker streaks and I love the look of a used marked up patina carbon blade, myself.
 
Thanks.
It sorta gives it a rugged look I think
I'll probably try and keep it polished for a bit.... I'm sure the tarnish will eventually win out.
I have a fold over sheath I think I'll put it in.

Now I'm eyeing my 5160 124.
I've always wanted to force a patina on that too. I just can't bring myself to do it.
 
Damn these are some gorgeous Bucks! I signed up for the reminder at c&c. I’ve never dealt with them before - think they’ll actually get some back in stock?
