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

Kippington 52100, really hard to capture on camera.

Y. Tanaka Aogami Super. The core steel gets blue-ish but the cladding shows poop color. Super reactive cladding.

Nice mazaki

 

[HumbleHomeCook]

Yep, definitely Mazaki.

 

[myguidingmoonlight]

Yep, definitely Mazaki.

I've never seen a Mazaki with that profile before. Is that a JNS Mazaki?

Sorry, it's a bit of a joke started I think by our friend @ian. Any time someone posts a knife without identifying the maker, the joke is to just declare it's a Mazaki.

I think it's from CleanCut.

I have been really enjoying my Konosuke Tetsujin more than I thought I would. Maybe its because it was bought second hand and immediately put it through the paces at work. It has definitely filled my 210mm spot and gets some lovely patina.

 

[Mikeadunne]

fuj petty. first use after cleaning up some unfortunate rust as a result of ****** blade guard + absentmindedness.

 

[Bico Doce]

The wrought iron on this Bazes is really great. Not super reactive and is taking on a beautiful patina

 

[mmiinngg]

Could also apply for the unvarnished patina
