Picture Request: Heat Treat Finish

[kmj153]

Hello all, I was wondering if anybody has pictures of their JK knives with heat treat finish after they have been used. I am curious how it looks.

Hi kmj -

I have a couple - Here is a SSS (small simple scandi) in heat treat finish, and it has been used quite a bit -

I never let my knives get rusty - I maintain them, but I also don't baby them in use either. You can see that the surface can get scuffs and scratches, but it just adds to the character in my opinion.

Here is my Defensive Battle Hawk in heat treat finish - it has also held up very well -

best regards -

Here is a Lobo I got in a trade, I'm at least the third owner. Not sure how much the others used it, but I've used it some.
