Looks great Bluenoser!

Re: Patina photos
I tried letting the patina develop a bit naturally on my new Mazaki hairline but it really wasn’t doing much. There must be some sort of coating or something on these. Or maybe I’m just impatient. I tried soaking in vinegar soaked paper towels but kind of hated how it looked. So after a little bit of Flitz it cleaned up nicely and now it’s very reactive. Another pork loin produced more crazy blue just like the CII. Family is getting tired of pork so I might need to find something else to play with haha...

This is a 220mm gyuto that I am making out of 52100...I took it up to the house to test with last nights' dinner. This is from slicing a grilled tri-tip and letting the juices stay on the blade during dinner.

Nothing HD here but an old rehab sled forgecraft that has a few hundred pigs under it’s belt. Handle was done by Travis wedge in austin TX with Texas Pecan and an African Blackwood saya

Re: Patina photos
Nice enjay! I find my Mazaki's patina better than any other knife I've owned so far!

Re: Patina photos
I have white steels with lots of orange patina. Just wipe it with a dry paper towel and if there is no color transfer to the towel you're good to go.
If God wanted me to be a vegetarian he wouldn't have made animals taste so good.
Re: Patina photos
Thanks, Jeff. I do that every once in a while and have yet to see any transfer so hopefully it's good. This Mazaki really is a little dynamite. Big fan.

Re: Patina photos
My Mazaki looks pretty much the same. It seems to patina much more than any others I have
Re: Patina photos
My Fujiyama B#2 Laurel developed a little of that as seen below and I could feel a little build up and resistance as I dragged my fingers across the surface:
I used a Sandflex Super Eraser to lightly buff the surface which removed the build up, resistance and reduced the color...I recommend them.

Re: Patina photos
Tanaka B#2 Damascus,
a few rust-spots convinced me to remove the very stable patina I had, and start over. This is mostly garlic's doing...
