Brett,

That 77 is patinaing up very nicely considering how new it is! Thanks for pictures I like them all, Lloyd

Too small.....

Let me try this again......

Still too small, I still have some figuring to do......

 

[KBA]

Osta - Sometimes a pic will load small but as soon as someone post after it, it will enlarge some. Let's see if me posting does just that? Nice patina forming on the 99.

EDIT: There ya go :thumbup:

Luger - Appreciate it sir. I forced that one out of curiosity.

KBA,

Thanks for that little tidbit. It doesn't make sense to me though. I went back and checked my image sizes, and they were correct. It helps to know that. Appreciate it.

The last post in each thread is left adjusted to leave room for in-post advertisements. So when you post a pic it will be smaller until someone posts below you.

Here's my GEC #92. The main blade has a real nice even satin patina on it from food prep, contrasted here against the coping blade that's never touched food.

My new 77 barlow. A combination of forced patina and apple slicing.

Soda Scout. Just a solid patina built from 2 months of EDC.

Northfield 72, all forced.

Not a traditional knife but I hope it is still okay to post the forced patina on my Mora Robust.

I can't resist, here is my patina after 12 hours of working on my truck replacing the transmission. It was forced, earned and accidental.

Here's 40 years of patina on my Old Man's hunting knives, last used in 75 when he passed away, the Swayback Jack has about 3 years of natural patina.
