PATINA!!.... let’s see those Carbon Steel Besties

[Hak1911]

This Case XX was my Mothers Who was a serial Thrift Store Addict. She bought it and a Forgecraft Boning Knife for dollars each in Austell Ga.

I sharpened them and returned them to her for years of use as my Drawer is full at home.

She has passed on now and I took custody of the knives.

I passed the Forgecraft along to a dear friend.

Thought I’d share the patina the Case is devolving here among othe Knife Nuts. .....

I have the same Case 431-6 I bought some time ago at a garage sale.

This BoyScout Camillus, went through the dishwasher when it was brand new and shiny. It came out a red rusted locked up mess. 3in1 oil and lots of love later it has a nice patina.
