Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
sorry, didn't want to taint this thread with my low quality pictures. A Para 3 with a blue MXG gear clip is found in my pocket most days. waiting on an m390 sprint run model to come in soon thoigh, and I can't wait to put a carbon fibre clip on it. I'm thinking It will look great with the blue Bento Box shop scales.

THAT'S how I like to see a patina! Pristine, it just looks like any other blade. Looks great Darby. Anything in particular to give it that dark of a line under the laminate line? I've been trying for something like that on my Delica Pakkawood with the HAP40, but can't quite get it that dark.

Super Blue naturally patinas a good deal darker than HAP40 does so if you want your HAP40 as dark as Darby's knife, you might have to help it along with some acidic treatments or something.

I eat a lot of apples, mostly Granny Smith. They will turn a carbon steel almost black.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 6:03 pmTHAT'S how I like to see a patina!

My HAP40 Delica hasn’t gotten anywhere near this dark however and it has sliced up quite a few apples as well. You could always try a dip into a glass of white vinegar?

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Around how long should I try that for in the vinegar? I cut up apples and a lemon every morning for lemon water and let it sit for a bit while I shower and pack my lunch, then wipe it down. It's getting there, kind of a nice blueish/copper hue to it. But I love that patina on yours...makes me regret passing up my chance on that Caly jr.bearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 12:59 pmI eat a lot of apples, mostly Granny Smith.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
It has not been released yet; I picked this one up at the SFO Seconds Sale on 11.17.18 along with the CTS-XHP DLC Para3 which went up for sale the day before (Friday 11.16.18), there were other folks that scored other VTOKU-2 Stretches as well, I was pleasantly surprised to see these at the sale :eek:
