>>1487006>>1487045I'll look into that, a forced patina seems like a good idea. Will it rub off or leave residue on food, etc?
>>1487054I thought about bringing mine to a mirror shine but it's a lot of work for a knife meant to be a workhorse. I ended up just taking off the ridges on the main part of the blade, which I assume were to help the black coating adhere to the blade.
Anyway, I end up taking this other knife pictured more often than not. A hatchet does me fine for just about everything else.
