Thanks everyone, that was a challenging photo to avoid blade reflections.
I tried more.. and some things you can’t replicate once you do it once

On a less pretty note, but one I really love, had this Voos out today and was reminded what a good one it is, with the kind of snap and action, and bones that I love. And tried to catch the blues and flashing colors in the patina that I love.
On a less pretty note???? That one is awfully pretty to me.

That's an all-round beautiful knife, Iman, and it's patina really caught my eye, it almost looks like some sort of emblem is forming underneath!
Funny thing about patina, any non-knife guy looks at it and says, "Yuck, that knife is all dirty, where's the shiny", whereas we look and say "Beautiful, absolutely beautiful"! I like our view better!
Very nice, indeed!

Again.. thanks everyone for the comments, and motivation to take a few pictures today.
Here is a colorful assortment of jack knives, all 16 patterns
I’d love to find a 6116 1/2 or a 6216 1/2 from the tested era in nice shape.

Awesome patina I-Man!!!

Maybe it's the fumes from the paint thinner getting to me today in the closed-up garage
...
or am I seeing a rabbit scratching the back of its ear in the patina on the main blade?
If so....
How the He!! did you do that?

Aahhhhhhhh, that is a beauty of a shot. Never would have thought of putting a bunch in a box with no blades open and still look great. Fabulous pic, such sweet bones even with no blades out. Calendar shot for sure bud. A+

Thanks so much Quick, it's hard to capture usually. Gotta have the right light and angle to bring it out. Thanks for the notice and compliment. I do appreciate it and all feedback. Helps a bit to hear others take on it and I try to listen to make the future pics better. Thanks again.

Amen and spot on. Lots of folks don't get it at all. That's one of the things I love about carbon steel. Kind of like a semi-secret club or a hidden jewel in plain sight that some can't see and don't understand. And one thing I love around here. We get it and appreciate such things a lot of people miss. Thanks for the mention.
Another with some patina coming along.

Beautiful knife, Iman! You know, Case has a Crimson Peach Seed Jig handle that looks almost identical to that. It’s a gorgeous color, for sure!

That's funny, so true, so true. Thanks for the mention and compliment. You're not always showing average stuff though. Give yourself some credit. Love seeing the pics. Thanks again.
Thanks a lot tvic, appreciate the comment and glad you like it. Thanks again.

They don't make 'em like that anymore. Beautiful knife!
This is one of the oldest knives I own, a CONNECTICUT CUTLERY CO. NAUGATUCK CT. The company was in business from 1867 to 1883.
