Re: Knife Photography
I really like the geometry and proportions of your custom blade; I could envision multiple applications for a knife like that.

Re: Knife Photography
Cha-ching Q! You had it right, it was an "accidently-forced" patina... in as much as I soaked it in Evapo-Rust®(I think they use acid from citrus) to remove some light peppering and I left it in over 24 hours andQTCut5 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 17, 2025 9:17 pmI really like the diamond crosshatch jigging on that Tidioute, T-DogAnd the patina looks great with the red bone...so, I gotta ask....forced patina or natural?
(looks exactly like mine after I give them a white vinegar treatment)
Found a good use for my unsharpened Schatt: a photo prop![]()
I hate carrying an unsharpened knife, but I figured I probably should get a few pics of it in its natural state before it gets forever altered and actually made useful with a sharp edge!

Re: Knife Photography
Thank you all for the comments! 
This is my favorite big knife, it slices, it dices, it chops, and if need be doubles as a short sword.
A Parker Edwards crown stag bowie bench made by Randall Gilbreath in J'ville ALA 1986. It has been on many camping trips, in hunting camp every season and in all that time it has only developed one small crack in the stag near the guard. She still looks good after years of use, some of it pretty hard use too.

That's a beauty, Squach! Love the gnarly crown stag handle
My Limited Edition Black Lip Pearl Lone Wolf Paul Executive accompanied me on my 'hood circuit this morning. Normally, the sunlight would bring out more colors in the pearl, but all the vog in the air being spewed out of Kilauea diffuses the light and diminishes the pearl's visible prism spectrum

Nice photo...well-positioned to accentuate the lines and graceful upswept curve of the blade. Smooth chunk of driftwood makes a nice backdrop/knife stand

Palm fronds and rolling surf in the background, it doesn't get any better than that. Oh yeah, beautiful knife too.

Gee, Squach, I would think you of all people should know how hurtful it is to be reduced to a simplistic stereotype, a comical caricature, a mere meme
