Re: Show Your Patina!
Hard to see, but my Mantra has a nice dark natural developed patina, esp the part near the Spyderhole.
Testing out my new folding cup from Sea to Summit.
Works great, no taste, feels stable when drinking.

Re: Show Your Patina!
Nice! The more I see of the GB 1&2, the more I think I could overlook the country of origin...

That's a classic to keep around! The GB1 has more appeal to me than the 2.Cambertree wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 12:48 amVery cool!
Here’s a progress pic of one of the stalwart users of my knife accumulation, the late, great GB1:

Re: Show Your Patina!
Thanks! Oh, you don't buy Taichung knives? I guess that makes it easier to narrow down your prospective knife choices. :)
It's a great knife for sure, so solid feeling with those thick, stout liners, slick action, and a really nice hollow grind and swedge on the blade.
Yes, I like the 50/50 choil on the GB1 better than the GB2 design too. As a user, I kind of think of it as a heavy duty Stretch. :)Enactive wrote: That's a classic to keep around! The GB1 has more appeal to me than the 2.
(Btw, the 'local colour' props in the pic are a chunk of raw iron from an old volcanic blast field in Western Victoria, and a frond of Antarctic Tree Fern from the local forests, sitting on my benchstone lapping plates. The volcanic iron projectile is strongly magnetic.)

Scrubbed off this forced bubble pattern I was trying to do and decided to let a natural patina form.

Re: Show Your Patina!
This was the result of cutting onions, tomatoes, and baked chicken in one use. Onions and chicken add blue/gray, and tomatoes brown/black with spotting. K390 looks like stainless, compared to 52100.
