I think these are two of the prettiest things to have in your gear and was wondering if we can do a picture thread. Any kind of blade with a patina or any old compass wether the tool kind or the kind drawn on maps. I'll start with a couple. The top one was a mustard patina and the bottom one is a start of a natural one. The light kind of washes them out but it's the only pic I have.

Here's one of my favourite patina shots - of my JK Anniversary Knife:

Forced a patina on my Siegle Hardcore knife (top) using heated white vinegar. Brought out the hamon very nicely. The SAR4 is getting a nice natural patina to it, kinda hard to see in the pic as the steel is still pretty shiney.

This one isn't really patina, but Nick used gun blue and bleach and I love the way it looks. Very old timey.

Here's a CS Riflemans hawk and Laredo bowie that I did a bit of file work and patina on...

Here is a plain old craftsman carpenters hatchet that I got board with and decided to turn it into a kind of bearded-tomahawk thing...
