Took receipt of my new CG SJ the day before last. Had a convex edge put on it. Sharp! Couldn't wait to use it so I decided to help my wife in the kitchen last night. She loves sucking me into kitchen chores when a new knife arrives. I cut up about 6-7 carrots. Then, the strangest thing happened.

As I was washing off the blade, I noticed the crinkle coat that made contact with the carrots turned this cool color green. The "crinkle" coating made it look like metalflake. Actually looks pretty cool.

I'm going to run it by the Busse shop to see what they think may have caused it to happen. I guess a chemical reaction to the beta carotine? I'll have my wife take a pic to post here. A few more carrots and it could pass as a varient!

Anyone else ever have this happened? I know I'm not the only one to cut up veggies while waiting for the warmer weather to come....
 
Me=running out the door to by carrots to rub all over my Steel heart E...:eek:
 
JohnnyO, Sounds like it could be serious... you had better send the knife directly to me for further testing. :D :eek:
 
It actually looks pretty cool. It's not the color green that would make you think it got curroted in any way. It's the kind of green metalflake you'd paint your old Detriot Muscle Car. I'll try to get a pic up over the next day or two for you all to see.

I'm not concerned over this at all, so noone is getting my SJ! Forget that idea. This won't be a safe queen. It will have plenty of charactor soon enough. I was just amazed that it changed the way it did. Funky stuff.....
 
I had one come back from the Busse shop one time and
it had a gold metal flake color to it. I think maybe
Jerry spilled some beer on it. Hey wait a minute
I think he christens all Infi blades before sending
them off.:D

I still think it's pretty damn strange for this to have happened. Got pics but can't post. If any of you Dangerfield's would like to post I can email them to you.
 
Johnny,
You can email me the pics and I'll post them when I get home from work.
