    Blah, as a convex knife fan and it being one of the things I think are great about Opinels...Im saddened by the second picture .


    But god damn I wish I had a blade that looked like that GB. Can anyone make a stonewashing how to write up and or video???????

    Well, I think it's time I show mine.






    I've had slight pitting on the Spyderco logo side of the blade. I tried to get it off with some Super metal polish but no luck. I haven't seen any orange oxidation so I'm not panicking - yet. I've been making sure to coat the blade with Tuf Glide every other week.

    I love that patina on the Sal logo side. I've cut a bunch of different foods with it but I think apples provide that really nice blue swirl patina.

    Natural patina from food prep on my work in progress Super Blue Mule. :



    My SINISTER Gayle Bradley, with forced dark patina and rough stone wash:



    What it looked like before I decided to go with the darker blade: Forced mustard patina, not too crazy about it:




    I LOVE A GOOD PATINA Its one of the reasons why Im starting to really like non stainless steels!

    Funny you didn't like the Mustard patina, thats the first example that looked good to me.
    ...I have no knives I keep in a safe but there are one or two that don't leave the house...
