An Investigator!
What do I call a copper extreme duty pen
AWESOME!
Fellow forum goers I'd like to share my experiences with Mr Hinderer's pens and ask your insight on areas of interest
this tall tale begins late last year when a fellow forum member offered his fine flamed titanium extreme duty pen complete with 4 attachments for sale here on blade forums in the exchange
for a very reasonable price
I was lucky to snag it
Upon receiving the pen I ogled it, i fondled it, i wrote many a love letter with it
Luckily I never found the opportunity to strike anyone or anything with it
its a lovely pen but Im not in love with it, per se
as fate would have it I happened upon an aluminum investigator for sale in the green forums
for dirt cheap, a deal anyone in their right mind could not pass up
the extreme duty was nice but I really liked the size of this investigator
after some pocket time I thought, this is a really nice pen, but it would be better with some weight to it
so I sought out after stainless steel version. They were sold out everywhere and anyone I came across wanted a first born son for theirs so I settled on copper
Upon receiving this copper investigator I knew nothing about patina or tarnish
I never gave brass-bronze-copper much thought until I came across a few pictures of forced patina's or intentionally tarnished metals
then I was hooked
See Im all about color combo's
I think its friggin awesome to start out with a high shiny bright polish on your favorite item only to have it "age" and take on a totally different character complete with a whole new color scheme
with the added bonus of the ability to simply start over again by polishing
also around this time I became interested in leather and learned how it to changes with use
finally found a ss
and then Mr Hinderer blessed us with the extreme duty in copper!
oh man Im definitely digging this beast of a pen!
it has some real nice weight to it
and so I ask you
what can you tell me about patina?
I've heard about different home-brew mixtures
have any of you tried this - how did it turn out
pictures would be highly appreciated!
thank you pen people
