Photos SR101 Patina

RobStanley · May 15, 2018

This little Vex is getting an amazing patina on it. I under exposed the shot by 1.5 stops to get the colour to pop. I can only imagine what it would look like on a big knife, say, something like a BGMOAB.

Show us ya loved SR101!

That's beautiful! I wonder what it would look like if it where acid etched? Probably would not compare to the rainbow you got going on that right now though.

Cool Rob! Is that mainly from kitchen use or ...?

Is that the one you use to make Vegemite sandwiches?

Pretty much. Red meat makes an awesome stain on it.

Any chance you refresh the edge? Imno artist but I think the contrast between the two would be amazing.

I can't take credit for the looks of my RMD as this is how it was when I bought it, but think she's pretty awesome.

This was a forced patina I had on my DTBM for a while.

I will when it needs a touch up on the strop

It's scary sharp at the moment.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw it- that contrast has an appealing notion to it.

Oh no doubt its a razor, but if you ever polish that edge all shiney and post the pics, you'll have my additional gratitude

all I'm getting is some Chargrilled Burger place in Claremont Perth` Is that it???? I was thinking like, wallaby steak burgers? or dingo medium well? or some strange outback critter with a funny nickname? like, does it go on a Vegemite assortment platter? ... One of the photos I saw from Bilbys looked like a 6" salad stacked on a burger - I can see a Busse being handy to whittle that vegan forest down to something enticing to a carnivore

Maybe Wallaby burgers?
I’m doubting anything to do with Vegemite, although it is the paté of the gods.

Mustard patina. Before and after

This Trash has never been inside. I'm really impressed with how well it holds up.

It lives in my wood shed which is just a roof and open walls. Couple smacks to make kindling and it looks great. I was thinking about spray painting it but I don't see the need. My grand fathers axe is there also and its almost a 100 years old with just some surface rust.

Look up Bilby. A cute native marsupial. Delicious barbecued and slapped between two buns with a slice of pineapple and lashings of smokey bbq sauce.
