Now that is a sweet looking patina, Newtron. Very nice! What was your method?

Basically I started by sticking Opinels into fruits but found there was too much fruit acid. So for the Caly I cut a grapefruit just off center, pat it dry it with paper towel and sandwich the blade between the fruit slices for 15 to 30min. And thats about it.

Re: Let's see your blue Spydies!
Wow, impressive bunch of blue spydies there Reject!
Newtron, is that Caly a user? :) I would be tempted to lock it up in a temperature and humidity controlled glass display case with a patina like that.

I had intended it as a user but after I forced the patina with a grapefruit I can't bring myself to roll it into my EDC.Brock O Lee wrote:Wow, impressive bunch of blue spydies there Reject!

It'll probably find a place in the showcase.

I hear you, and I don't blame you. Still, safe queens IMO is just sad, so much 'wasted' potential ! :DNewtron wrote:I had intended it as a user but after I forced the patina with a grapefruit I can't bring myself to roll it into my EDC.Brock O Lee wrote:Wow, impressive bunch of blue spydies there Reject!
