Huh. Post below yours says you are indeed, incorrect. Hell, I’ll probably buy a knife from that feller, just to spite you. Anyway, I do believe the original intent of the post was about homemade modifications to knives. So if you want to come in and shit all over the thread, well I guess you are entitled to that. Have a good night, Sir.Professional, big boys don't "patina" we polish, or we satin, or we plate.
I guess for some it's much the same reason why you would buy aftermarket scales etc as well. Improving the looks, personalization...Personally, I don't understand why anyone would want to take a beautiful new knife and ugly it up with fake patina. Patina comes from ages of use, not mustard or other chemical treatments. Seems bizarre to me why anyone would deliberately do that. I like/keep my knives looking new as long as possible.
Knifes are tools and life's to short to try and keep a carbon steel knife looking like new. Use a carbon steel knife one time to cut some salami and cheese or field dress game and that new shine is gone forever.Personally, I don't understand why anyone would want to take a beautiful new knife and ugly it up with fake patina.
