Post by: styx on September 08, 2018, 08:55:21 PM: Aleph really surprised me with this
Title: Re: new not so shiny
Post by: AlephZero on September 08, 2018, 09:03:09 PM: You're welcome! :tu:

It's a about 25 years old Marttiini 250/2 Leuku. I used it through my teen years and military service. If you sniff it, you can still smell the smoke of campfires it's been close to ;)

Later on it's not been used so much and I really wanted it to get a new home where it would be appreciated and used like it deserves. :pok:

So, I thought you, Broseph, would be a good choice. :cheers:

What a gent you are Aleph. :hatsoff:

Post by: styx on September 08, 2018, 10:08:47 PM: thanks. it will certainly see use as I experiment with my own skills in regards to using different sized blades
Title: Re: new not so shiny
Post by: styx on September 09, 2018, 06:09:43 PM: well it took an edge well. it has a few minor deformations near the belly and the tip but that will come out with time as it would mean removing too much material at once.
the new stone is also a pleasure to use. just gotta get used to it since i was mostly using ceramic before ad holding both the stone and the knife in my hands.
as you can see on one pic I got a nice reflection of my shirt.

so decided to make some beans. skinning the bacon was surprisingly easy given the blade length and that I'm more used to smaller knives. slicing and chopping felt natural

Title: Re: new not so shiny
Post by: zoidberg on September 11, 2018, 12:22:37 AM: I approve. :tu:
Title: Re: new not so shiny
Post by: AlephZero on September 23, 2018, 06:35:26 PM: I forgot to mention, that leuku has actually cut down not one, but few trees...

;)

Post by: styx on September 23, 2018, 09:14:24 PM: by the patina on it, I only wish it could talk
Title: Re: new not so shiny
Post by: AlephZero on September 24, 2018, 07:14:07 PM: I thought we had understanding on the whole "talking blade" thing? That it's generally a BAD thing? :pok:

Title: Re: new not so shiny
Post by: styx on September 24, 2018, 10:17:45 PM: thanks. yep Alpeh surprised the smurf out of me
Title: Re: new not so shiny
Post by: Sparky415 on September 25, 2018, 06:14:22 AM: I agree with Alf
Don't listen to the voices! :pok:
Title: Re: new not so shiny
Post by: styx on September 25, 2018, 10:08:24 AM: yea I think there might be an issue if implements in general could talk
Title: Re: new not so shiny
Post by: AlephZero on November 06, 2018, 08:28:00 PM: Oh and about the patina, most of it was on it when I bought it... It was sold a "second quality" or "factory second", with that unpolished blade and unfinished handle with no clearcoat :pok:

I think it was about half the price...
Title: Re: new not so shiny
Post by: styx on November 06, 2018, 10:51:32 PM: so it was sold to be a working tool and not a shelf queen that looks pretty? good to know considering it has a very nice companion for me since it arrived for a lot of minor tasks (the Spirit challenge did put a damper on it a bit)
