My favorite color is BLUE!.............A patina thread.

Old knife, new patina

 

[mrmuffin]

First patina on the tetsujin 240

 

[itzjustchris1]

Hitohira Gorobei x Ren W2D first day use at work. After using this knife I really think that this knife’s price point is a big steal.

 

[More_Gyutos]

I feel the same.

 

[itzjustchris1]

Broke down a whole ribeye and played with my TNK Suiboku B1 Suji

 

[mikaelsan]

Man I got some mad patina showing up on my cleaver.
It may just be that my imagination is too lively but I feel like the knife is scolding me

 

[Pie]

Taste the AS rainbow

I like this knife more every time I use it. So raw but so clean at the same time. My 210 denkas thicker, heavier nemesis.

 

[gentiscid]

Takeuchi deba building up patina in 2 sessions.

Not a knife this time but my Cuisinart French Classic pan after a spa treatment in the dishwasher. I had prepared a batch of Carrot, ginger, cashew soup.

Using the Hado B1 more again, surprised these don’t get more attention. Patina coming along smoothly if that makes sense (moderate reactivity)

They’re wonderful knives! I’ve shifted to workhorse styles but these and fujiyama’s will definitely stay in my collection

Ya I have there Nakiri, it’s really special on how it cuts and gets a beautiful pantina really becoming one of my favorite knives. I also bought one of there sujihiki but unfortunately the tip is just to thin, it tipped on me after the first use, the tip is so thin it’s like foil, ok not quite that bad but you get my point.

I can contact the Guggenheim for you. Only 10% commission.

Although you have some tough competition

 

[ethompson]

Been hoping for patina pics! Nice handle choice too @jedy617. How’s is cut though?

 

[jedy617]

It actually goes through food wonderfully, almost reminds me of how easy it is to cut with a laser even with a 5mm spine
