All About Pocket Knives

the pioneer in spiral buffalo, the slim hogan in bone & the last pioneer in stag. the stag is a vinegar patina , hogan natural patina & the 3 year used pioneer with little patina even after cleaning several deer. i think the immmediate cleaning of knives after use will keep the finish unstained for long periods. i've used spit & shirttails at times to remove food or blood.--HiPower

Those are three great variations.

This is a natural one.


I did this one with gun bluing, it was too dark for my liking so I lightened it up. Since then I have skinned out a deer with it and cleared some brush, the patina has darkened up a bit.


And finally some vinegar.

very nice fellas
