Great photo of a fantastic knife! Interesting fidgit And I love the table

Thank you! It’s a neat solid brass fidget with great action from cool little northwest company. That table is our pride and joy, used to be a wood shop table at a local high school for many years : )

Got bad news about the wife yesterday, so today all I'm carrying in my lounge pants is an Opinel #6.

Hope everything is ok : (

Great even patina ???

Absolutely!

Great even patina ???

I clean the blade with rubbing alcohol then dip it in heated vinegar until it’s nice and even and dark. Then clean and sharpen. I throw my knives right in the pocket to work when I get them and need good protection from the start.

After I patina them they just get better and better with use.

Prayers sent y’all’s way Deltaboy.

Thank you for the procedure ! It really sets off the smooth bone and edge

This one is still in my pocket. Little touch up on the sharp maker before Christmas and those dinosaur packages didn’t stand a chance.
I haven’t missed my stockmans, not once.

 

[Railsplitter]

I don't miss my Stockman's either, Josh. I thought I would never say that but it's true.

Nothing's changed for me in the last three weeks. Still totin' the Churchill and the Norfolk. I thought I would post the pile sides this time just for something different.

Very sorry to hear. I hope everything turns out for the best.

No worries! I read how to do it on this forum years ago from either Carl or Charlie, can’t remember who.

Great 81. I love those green ones. Never ran across one to buy though.

Been carrying my 72 LB and my Rod Braud for so long. Had to swap it up today. These two along. But I still can’t bring myself to get the patina going on the SFO heartland clip. So tomorrow, with cooking and such going on at work, it’ll be back to the 72 and Braud (since it’s such a better cooking knife than the rodent solution)

My new love !

Oooooo yeah.

 

[rockman0]

Hasn't left my pocket since it arrived, I'm smitten.

 

[Dschal]

Sick at home. Got an Ebony 35 to go with my micarta.
