An old Robt Klass sticker that I hafted in pecan and it's "15 min" bladecover/sheath. I was given the blade many years ago so I don't really know it's age. It's patina is beautiful...I can't do it justice with my cheap camera.

I spent 2 weeks and $15.12 on this patina. I ate the 4 chile rellenos that caused it, so, did I earn it or is it force fed?

its raining on my pachyderm:

Later that day, I decided to do a little smoothing and polishing of the corner of the coping blade, the swedges, bolster corners with 600 grit, then repolished everything with red rouge. After that I went over the whole knife with sunshine cloth and removed most of the patina from the blade.

going to need a couple more chile rellenos ... or who knows, maybe an apple ... patina happens

and now for your entertainment, the vinegar wrap

and an hour later Viola!

Does she . . . or doesn’t she? . . . Only her hairdresser knows for sure.
