Its still growing on me, this Congress pattern The blade is 1095 and Im frankly hesitant to use it with anything wet (like Apple peeling) as I don't know if I will like the patina pattern that will develop It's a lovely knife ,I had one and did a GAW on here , just use it and let it show patina of use as it will look great as it ages,all my old slipjoints look so much better like that Yes, I saw your GAW and was just a day late in joining it. That was the one I wanted the most to win What did you do after every use? Wipe it down with oil?I didn't use that knife ,but I just use my carbon bladed knives ,if wet then yes I wipe them dry but I like patina so doesn't bother me ,these should be used and memories made That's why I have the Bantam next to my Tidioute as you just gotta love the stainless blade of SAKs. One of these days I'll take the plunge of using my carbon blade If I kept it mate it would of got used as I don't do shelf queens all my knives get used and most of them have carbon blades as I prefer carbon,I find it easier to sharpen and like the way it ages Me, neither. I don't like unused tools that's why I sold some of my SAKs already.I forced the patina on my Mora 511 and seemed to have experienced early red rust. Now I have to give it regular maintenance. I have to get used with a carbon folder, I guess.

Another part I love about patina is how it looks against other parts of the knife,carbon backsprings with very dark patina against brass liners
Patina is something you either like or don't. I don't care for it. I don't mind and maybe even like a light gray patina but I will not let a blade turn black.I have allowed my #68 Pony to patina but if it gets to dark I'll use a bit of Eagle One Never Dull to take it back to a light gray.I have some 1095 knives I like to carry and I'll use them as my main knife but it is backed up with a stainless blade. For use around anything that will patina the blade. I'm a 2 knife person any way so it works out perfect. Sometimes I'll carry a 1095 knife in my RFP and something like a stainless stainless Fallkniven PC in a belt sheath.GEC #68(Image removed from quote.)Today carry(Image removed from quote.)
