SG I am going to need email or phone number for the grandkids.
I should have some patina knives handy. I will check and get pics tomorrow. I know I have my forced patina Opinel handy. It was a experiment and I never re attempted. I know I could do a really cool tiger stripe patina on it if I wanted. I like natural patinas though. One thing I really love is the patina on the Super Blue Spydercos. NOT MY PICTURE.

Good idea for a thread Harley Great pics SG

Not to be a downer, but patina and wear are two different things.

Harley and Monrogue talked about this over in the ALOX Durability thread so I thought it was going be a weathered Alox thread but Harley opened it up to include everything.

All the better really. We can never have enough pics of beautiful worn or patina tools.
