Someone is a knucklehead ..If you are going to store your knife in it's sheath. Don't leave it on the back deck during the rainy/humid Ga. summer.

Give it a dip and call it good.

Nice patina / pattern on the blade!! Looks like an explorer's map of the old world.

 

[Bmurray]

Let me BD the handle so it'll match that awesome blade. When did you guys start doing San Mia fiddlebacks?

 

[RobbieB]

The Micarta still looks good.

You're going to SUITCASE "back door" it????

I had no idea Bob ..

 

[osprey888]

Well, that's one way to add a "protective" coating!

 

[Kismet]

Get some flat black spray paint from WalMart and re-name it as a tactical stealth blade.

There may be other solutions, just sayin'

 

[swonut]

It'll buff right out.

 

[lmalterna]

Just rub some dirt on it.

[Rufus Magnus]

FLITZ will do the job ??

 

[Choppaman]

When I was a kid, my dad taught me to stick my rusty pocket knife in the ground to clean rust off the blade. Yeahhhh...it works?

If my pops knew how much money I had tied up in knives now he’d prolly puke! Lol

 

[RayseM]

...but will it cut? Everything else is just vanity - Er of course I mean knife vanity - not suggesting anything about you Vance - I don't see you as a preener

You can save the knife though, I have no doubt.

I've developed a special process to "let out the beauty deep within", so send it to me and I'll see what I can do. I promise that it will come back lighter and shinier than when it arrives.

Looks better .. but you missed some near the scales. How does the spine look?

And, who is putting you on "knife time out" till you learn your lesson. lol

we'll get em....probably

who said it was me?....lots of knuckleheads in the shop. Andy cough roy cough

 

[Fiddleback]

So that was step one. Rough sanded the flats and used an eraser on some of it. Then I ground it to 120 grit. Time to finish it up and clean the spines. Good as new.

I 'spect it helps to have a well-established, highly-regarded, top-level knife-creating shop at your disposal.

It's good to know that even the masters of the craft have vestiges of human fallibility left in them.

Reassuring, it is.
