Unfortunate plastic bag fold looks like a big chip

I'd make you et it outside too, lol. That craps gross.

Nive patina BTW. What knife is that?

[Justin0505]

What, the gf doesn't like the smell of rotten onion and moldy socks? No accounting for taste... although it does seem appropriate to eat a durian over the hot vent from an AC compressor.
What's the knife? Looks vintage American.

Thanks for noticing...I was cracking up at that. We don't have a table on our shared patio. Must have looked strange to see some guy hunched over a compressor eating that.

Says Dexter, Southbridge Mass on the blade. The handle says 45a10h, which is still a model number they use today on current knives. I'd love to know how old this knife is.

What does they red wine and soda do? How long did you leave it each application?
Ta.

Wow! Heaps of brilliant work.
After 20 straight pages, I cant wait anymore.
Let me get this correct. Patina is a good kind of oxidization which protects the blade and stops metal flavor on the food.
Does it where off?
I hope I didn't miss what I am about to ask in previous pages.
What colour does pork give?
Is the chicken to be raw?
Is there a formula in regards to period the substance used to stain is to be left on for a particular effect?
Can I ruin the blade if I do patina incorrectly?
