Patina progress...190OT skins out 3-5 orange peels a day...the Douk sliced up lots of apples.

They look a little darker in the pic but they are getting there! :thumbup:

Well somehow forced-earned (if this exists) - but this #15 in ebony was used as my food-prep and kitchen knife for last time....

Very cool knife! Who made it??

trey999 · May 4, 2014

Thanks, Samon. That is a custom knife made by JD Ellis of South Africa. He makes some great stuff.

This shows the the 194OT's patina better than the last pic.

That's a righteous pair of jack knives. The Utica barehead jack... is it a punch or a well used pen? Is the other jack an Imperial or Camillus?

I figure this is abuse/neglect. I recently purchased it at an antique store, and have been carrying it ever since. Just carrying it, and a bit of oil, and a little steel wool got rid of the rust, but some mild pitting remains. I've done more to remove the patina than to create it at this point. But I think now that the thing is pretty clean, a proper patina will be glorious.
