    Fallkniven S1 Blade Blank

    Highlander Jaguar Bushcraft Knife

    careful however - the angle of the EnZo Trapper is a little too shallow, and results in a lot of micro-chipping, which needs constant sharpening (this occurs a lot in the 01 version).

    Putting a patina on a carbon blade

    Also, if you live in a region where Acacia Species grow (I highly doubt you will find them anywhere in the UK) the tannin in the bark gives stainless steel, and carbon steel blades a nice maroon patina. Acacia grow a lot in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. the species with long...
