[wouldestous]

svord peasant with conspicuous orange handles again.
its the old full-size model and it carries fine in cargo pants or the back pocket of jeans. its really great for yard/forestry/garden type work but it is an awful lot of knife to carry around for opening packages and trimming loose threads on your sweater.

Finally decided to force patina for my recently acquired sway back jack. I just couldn't resist.
In the background is Takeshi Saji bowie but that's just props.

Looks great. How did you do it?

I'm still carrying the amber bone mini copperhead, but no new pics yet as the weather is awful.

1) Beautiful picture!
2) Ouch
2a) I did the same thing to my own white owl (same bone covers, spear main) under different circumstances, resulting in a nasty gouge in one of the bolsters. With some careful attention (based on the good advice of people here), I was able to remove the nasty, "raw" metal edges of the ding and smooth everything out. I think 0000 steel wool carried the day, if I recall?

I am loving this O1 steel. All you have to do is look at it the right way,* and more patina happens.

Lime. Soaking and rubbing a lot. Gives very dark finish if you want to.

Neat! I'm looking at that, picturing where the edge stops and the "front" begins. Does it all-of-a-sudden just get blunt right at the radius up?
