Fortunately it wasn't buffed to death on a wheel. Just looks like they held the blade pinched in some sand paper, and rubbed it. Left quite a few scuff marks, but didn't get onto the tangs,and the grinds around the swedges are still good. I hated the scuff marks, so I put an worn piece of 800 grit on a flat smooth surface and SLOWLY worked most of them out. Finished with a pretty worn piece of 1500 grit. I figured someone already destroyed the original patina, I just wanted to get most of the scuffs off. You can still read the blade etch when the light hits it right.

There’s lots of good info in the knifemaker’s and maintenance sub-forums, but that’s the way to do it. :thumbsup:

Hot and muggy day, especially with the oven on. Time for stainless.

A Big Wow and Whoop Tee Doo! Don’t dance too wildly and have a knife go flying!

Prester John said:
Sorry if I posted twice! No more bourbon!

You’re good.
Unless you over cook the shrimp. That’s a deal breaker.

Tom & Stuart, thanks for the Joker joy, buds.

These 3 today . Old Imperial and 2 GEC 14's . I bought the 14's new in 2016 and had intended to gift them but my mind was changed by SWMBO . I do not like small knives , but these 2 little knives are little jewels .

...
Harry

Those 14s are indeed jewels, chum, but the Imperial is the pick of the litter IMHO!

Dude, that shield is awesomely ambiguous!

It sort of reminds me of at least 3 classic shield shapes, but differs from each.

Fresh from the skilled hands of @glennbad today I'm Totin' this large model A. Wright Lambsfoot in Ironwood!!! Please excuse the darn dust speck on the pile side!

Congrats to you and Glenn, Ron! :thumbsup:

You cats pulled off an amazing makeover on the original horn lambsfoot! Thanks for the details in the Lambsfoot thread. :thumbsup:

I’m going to hit the river today and see if I can catch a smallmouth or two.
View attachment 953954 So it’s got to be a fish knife today.

Fundamental fish knife, friend!

A later post indicates that your excursion was a resounding success!

Cool study in black and white, except for that blazing red fob on the BSK, mate!

That's dazzling, pardner,

but leaves me with a dilemma.

I'd have said the frame is equal-ended, but I don't recall ever seeing 2 different bolster styles on an otherwise quite symmetric knife. Very intriguing; still something new for me on The Porch almost every day!

I have these two with me today for Black Friday.

Boy, that's a true fact.

Devastating dark duo, Dylan!!

I have high admiration for that one, homegirl, because one of my own favorites is almost identical except for a spear main:

Sorry about that, man.

You'd think after 45 years in the teaching profession, I'd be able to communicate more clearly!

A 2015 #73 in Stag today, paired with my Bushboot

Paul, those stag 73s from 3 years ago still make me drool, pard!! Classic!

Glad to have you for an ally, Stuart.

Stag and shells. I like.

Patio time!

Half/Stop · Jul 28, 2018

I’m sure I’ve missed a bunch of nice knives posted today. I’ve been after it since 7am and we finally got a much needed shower and a quick evening meal.

I’ve been carrying the 74 Orange Delrin Mustang and the Buck Jigged Bone Canoe both with stainless blades. I’ll have to say this about the Buck Canoe, I believe it to be the sharpest knife out of the box I have ever bought! Both blades are scary sharp! I am impressed!

This pair today and for the last week. Can’t seem to let go of that Loveless/Lone Wolf City Knife, I did put the Half Congress/Congress Jack in to replace the Serpetine Shadow Jack usually there.
