Those are some good lookin knives you got there, tater.
 
Thanks ! I have the 15 sitting in a vat of patina juice and will have some pics of it up soon .
 
Looking good..... Good time yesterday...... Say hi to your Dad...... Good fellow.....

As far as the edge goes ...yeah , I thinned it out some but I have no idea what angle it turned out to be . I freehand sharpened it and guesstimated the angle .
 
I dipped those suckers in pure heartache to get that patina to come out right .
 
I will likely never write a book. However, if I do, I hope it will somehow manage to have this line in it...

Thanks guys ! Heartache always makes things age faster . Watch Old Yeller and The Notebook next time you dip yer blades and see what happens . Anyone notice the 17 has a straight clip ?
 
Great looking Blades gutsy! I just love that 17. Gonna have to mod mine similar to that.
And glad that Ferro rod is getting some use. Looks great next to your awesome patina's.
 
I think I need to do some more pics of the 17 then ..... Maybe some pics of me whamming it real good .....scuffing up that nice patina . Yeah , this needs to happen .
 
Any time Gutsy makes a thread that involves pictures and stripping I get nervous!


That however looks really good man!
 
that heartache patina came out really good. Love that straight clip, really tempted to do that to mine.
