I learned the hard way on that too. My mistake was with a Masamoto KS about 8 yrs ago.

Re: Patina photos
Same here... forcing a mustard patina is not something I'll do again. Fortunately, a bit of Barkeeper's Friend and some elbow grease got it off.

I used some diamond spray and a felt block and cleaned up the KS. It did a great job but did leave a slightly more polished/shinier finish on the knife but not a big deal.

Re: Patina photos
I always enjoy these patina photos and this thread has been quiet for a while. Here is my 270mm Masakane SK Gyuto.

Re: Patina photos
Really liking how the coffee patina is holding up on my Yoshimi Bunka. Also, had the recent chance of meeting the man himself and had one of his apprentice custom engrave with my nickname.

I missed this post from three years ago.ChefKnivesToGo wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 9:09 am This is what I consider a nicely used knife with full patina should look like after about a year of service. This is a Kanehida TK. I love sharpening this line of knives. A customer sent me this photo. I don't use nail polish, promise.

Re: Patina photos
Beautiful blue patina on a gorgeous Manaka blade, Sammie! I'm sure that one puts a smile on your face everytime it's used!
Re: Patina photos
It sure does mate. It also makes me wish I had gotten a slightly longer blade, but I love it nonetheless…
Re: Patina photos
Another knife in White 1 made by Ikenami Hamono. I think they go by Tanegashima as well… Not sure what the correct name is. This is after cutting feta cheese and leaving the knife for few minutes…. I had no idea Feta was so acidic..
