I just did coffe rubbed it in let it sait a few minuttes. Neutralize with windex/window cleaner or soap etc. Then samme with lemon juice then neutralize again then very strong vinegar like 35% was the strongest i could find. Then after thoose 3 are done then i put on some tormek paste autosol or flitz or similar very fine metal polish would work just as good. Put that on the blade with a drop or two of olive oil and rubbed it around with a little peace of leather. Then wash of when done again window cleaner or similar or soap etc. Then do the etch again then polish again and keep going until happy. Took me 2 hours.
Aaron definitely does make some incredible knives! The man has a surplus of talent yet humble as he is he would not admit that probably 😂 but yes I am honored to know him and own one of his works!
This is the knife I started learning how to do an dexterous sharpening so sharpening with both hands left hand is definitely my weak side and you pick that Wright up right away lol can’t get nothing by you lol. Far as using it, the knife itself is not gonna break that’s not gonna happen. It’s too thick and the tang inside the wood is also very thick but if I had to say what would fail, it would probably be the wood that was a very pretty wood but it was dry and had a lot of cracks in it. That’s why we stabilize it. I wanted to use that wood if anything would fail, that was what it would be, the knife itself should be solid. Use it if you want to up to you, you have my blessing.
Yeah im not gonna baton but light use here and there like feather sticks etc and then every now and then polishing up the hamon again and giving it some love. And yeah you cant hide with me haha but seriously man the edge of that dans Arkansas is scary just flesh digging sharp
Far as using it though, it’s got the wrong kind of geometry and builds with a aggressive, decimal taper to be really any good at Bushcraft and it’s probably not that great at carving little bit too big and klutzy for that. It’s really purpose built a fighting style bowie so if you want to use it for what it was made to do try to get a hold of a butcher and get a pig and hang it from a tree and stab the living shit out of it
Haha im gonna do some feathers here and there and some meat in camp etc light light light use. But i mean all knives should be used and loved and taken care for they all need a happy warm caring loving home ❤️
