Thanks.Right on pal
The bone on that HSB is spectacular. It's a shame to see the overbuffing, but I know I could knock the shine off that old knife pretty quick. Cut some pickled jalapenos and onions, slice some limes for vodka tonics, etc. and it'll have a nice patina before you know it.I am really trying to like this hibbard spencer bartlett but i dont think i can get over how bad it has been buffed and polished! I bought it only seeing dimly lit photos and had no idea how much it had been altered. Now everytime i look at it it reminds me ☹ maybe if i force some quality time i will get over it. I had the lambsfoot along today as well. View attachment 1583546View attachment 1583551
