Earning patina

A Curtin and Clark!! I love it, Stephen:thumbup::thumbup: It's an absolute beauty. If your of a mind, could we see the blades and tang stamp?
Thanks in advance.
Thank you Gev! To me, it's in really good shape for a 100 year old knife. Based on the Kansas City stamp, I believe it was made between 1910-1920. And judging by the wear on the bone, I believe it was carried, but based on the condition of the blades, I don't think it was used much - certainly not abused at least. Both blades walk and talk like a dream and and have a beautiful snap into half stop and open positions (sort of like the sound that a couple marbles make when clinking together - or at least that's the way I remember them sounding).![]()
This one can't seem to leave my pocket... its finally starting to develop a nice patina on the blade and the bronze!
