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

Ya'll,

Sorry for the neglect the past couple months. Your favorite meme is back, so here is the ridiculous patina on my Kochi V2.

@Carl Kotte I've been saving something especially disgusting for your thread. Stay tuned

One or two of your nails kinda match

Was photoing my scrapper for another reason and noticed it has some colors.

You own a Dalman cleaver? Lucky guy. Great knives!

Disagree, mine must be from norwegian apprentices or something

I really like this Norwegians joke. The best I’ve heard!

Couldn’t take a good pic, so here’s a shoddy vid of some blues. This was after a dozen red onions for pickling.

210mm Tsubaya Tanaka blue 1. I had my hesitation to this knife at first due to its length, but it's grown to be my favorite daily driver. (Sorry @Carl Kotte, the second picture probably belongs to your thread).

I have a question: does anyone have an example of what a knife looks like after you achieve nutmeg-level perfection in the polish/ kasumi and then... use it to cut things?

This Steel by Lundbergs sujihiji is just ridonculous. 26c3 mono.

@CiderBear Not kasumi or any type of nut finish, but I polished this knife up to 2500 paper and finished with polishing paste.

Nice nail polish!

I always have a hard time capturing patina, but slowly and surely, it’s coming along after a week of use.

Wow what camera did you use for this one?
The contrast and texture is amazing.

Sign of a good grind- all the way to grey black well past the blue purple

Kochi 270 migaki after a couple days at work. Awesome reminder that you don’t need to spend $500 or more on a great blade. This thing is a beast.

What are the specs? Looks a real deal

I feel like we all get caught up in chasing the more expensive knives sometimes. This kochi reminded me that a more budget friendly knife can really tear it up. I love it. I’m pretty sure it’s about 272 mm and 53.5 mm. Handle is awesome. Weight I would guess maybe 220g. It’s got a really sweet grind. I even minced 5 or so lbs of shallots with it the other day lol.
