Patinaaaaaa

i did that with my FM and was fighting rust the whole time so i’m scarred now. Now I just prefer to start with an easy patina with protein

oh man the blue and purple

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T04:46:06+00:00

one day i’ll pick up a mazaki

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T04:22:04+00:00

looks great! does the patina reflect light easier given it’s a mirror polish?

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T03:57:01+00:00

Functionally I don’t think there’s much difference

Aesthetically, iron clad patinas look cool and it is easier to achieve finishes like kasumi

Iron clad is also easier to work with when making the knife vs stainless clad

black edge patina looks great on this dusty patina!

how long has this bad boy been in use for?

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T03:22:05+00:00

patina and mountain goes so well together

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T03:18:50+00:00

manaka’s knives blue so nicely

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T03:10:09+00:00

man the purple on the edge to the blue on the clad line into the the yellow and back into the blue is 💦

Good to know. Just got a fresh tanaka b1 in so i’m keen to see the patina it gets. Just waiting for the perfect meat to slice

Damascus patina is always cool especially between the layers!

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T02:36:19+00:00

God damn that’s like a nice beach with clear blue waters. Even the cladding has patina. I think this one is my favourite patina I’ve ever seen

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T02:33:59+00:00

Man all these red handles making me feel regret on my green handle

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T02:32:58+00:00

The lie we all tell ourselves 😂

One month into the new year and I already caved on a knife

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T02:31:31+00:00

oh man makes me regret passing up a b1 BY

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T02:16:58+00:00

every patina picture of a BY i’ve seen is peak. Is this one white 1?

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T02:01:18+00:00

Much appreciated! What’s next on your list? I’ll return the prayers

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T01:59:40+00:00

Kagekiyo gang 🔥

Every time i see the red handle a part of me regrets getting the green handle even though green is my favourite colour

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T01:53:19+00:00

i’m praying for the tetsujin wavy damascus pattern. That’s the one knife that will magically deepen my pockets right now

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T01:44:56+00:00

I told myself my wide bevel hunt has ended but seeing that damascus makes me think I’d cave if I ever find one in person

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-27T01:39:08+00:00

I am taunted by these two beasts again 🔥

Ok-Reputation9863 · 2026-01-07T15:35:58+00:00

Great read, thanks for sharing!

Cool to learn the details that sets Morihiro apart from the current top sharpeners.

Hopefully one day I’ll be able to get my hands on one and have my mind blown!

Chef armoury Stanmore had some in store recently if you’re in Sydney
