Hey KKF,
I wanted to share this "one-of-a-kind" butcher knife I found at a flea market.
I restored it a bit, in trying to keep the original patina and old looks.
The handle was in rough shape, so I had to sand it.
But in doing that, I discovered it was made of birds-eye maple.
Can someone explain what is going on with the blade splotches?
Is it the uneven tempering process that was responsible for that look?
What do you think is the age?
