A bit spotty, very nice, but no red or orange hues here. Very nice work [emoji41]

Hello sir! I think you’re today’s winner (not that there really is a contest): these are among the finest specimens I’ve seen. That rich almost brown color rubs Carl Kotte’s thread in just the right way [emoji203][emoji203][emoji203]

It is unlikely that we’ll see a more impressive knife in a less nutmeg-ish condition than this.
But, I say -give me more! It doesn’t have to be unicorns. All used carbons are welcome!

Ouch! Do you think they would manage to do some custom uneven serration while at it?
If you are looking for something like that I have a friend that can work wonders on carbon steel with nothing but a pull through sharpener [emoji4].
Found the last picture I kept of this disaster:
The patina was kind of nice though.

I really dig how even the discoloration is on this knife.

This is usually just my test knife for new stones. I decided to use it to cut some stuff other than paper towel and arm hair. Takes a patina fast.
And a choil shot.

300mm Kono Suji. Lot of red, blue and even purples after just one use.
I suck at cake but it's not for lack of practice.

I always make one of the cooks loan me one of their crappy stainless cheapos for the cake. Otherwise, you are sure to lose the tip when you dunk it in the baine marie.
