Rousing thunder
Breaths of triatomic clean
Tremulous torrents

Post one either way. I've been hesitant to try it myself, some pictures of a bad outcome would help put my fears at ease! [emoji14]
Looks good! How'd you do the back spring without getting the bone?What's the worst that could happen?
The blade isn't an even color. After the vinegar, I used it to cut up those onions, so it's a more natural looking patina now. I could always go back with more.
I did the backspring, too. I made sure to scrub it with baking soda afterwards to prevent rust. Then lots of oil, of course. I like it [emoji106]

Well that makes me feel even better! I remember reading somewhere that the vinegar dries out the bone or something, but I couldn't tell you where or when I read that, so it's entirely possible I made it up.
