Bark River Knives Fox River patina

[donrau]

I have a Fox River Mini with Maple Burl that would look awesome with that pattern.

So, I'm also curious about the technique you used to apply the ketchup and mustard. I am curious about density and pattern.

Did you smear a lot on? Was the entire blade covered in either one or the other? Or did you leave open spots? What kind of pattern was used.

A picture with the products applied would be awesome. Or a drawing approximation.

Thanks,

@donrau

The process is pretty simple. Use a q-tip to put small dots of mustard and ketchup all over the blade and let it sit for a while. After waiting a bit wash it off and repeat until the colour looks good.

I have a link with a picture I can send you but I can't right now because you have friend lock on and it won't let me send you a pm. If you want, add me as a friend and I can send it to you then. Or maybe try sending me a pm.

[RatifiedCow]

Does doing that to the blade void the warranty?

[NechakoRiver]

@RatifiedCow

Not on a Bark River but I don't know about other manufactures.

[RatifiedCow]

@NechakoRiver Thanks!!! Im thinking about trying it out myself.

[Tegulicious]

Is that knife made of A2 steel, and how hard is it to sharpen?

[NechakoRiver]

@Tegulicious

Yes, it is A2. I have no problems sharpening any of my A2 knives. If you check out my other videos, there is one of me sharpening this knife.

[Tegulicious]

@NechakoRiver Thanks for the input!!

[shikamaru15x]

nice patina.... and camera too!!!!

ugh, now i am upset that i got a nikon d3000 when i could have gotten a pentax k-7... lol. i mean i bet the pictures are the same, but not only do u have video, but it's beautiful too!

[NechakoRiver]

@whatstheverdict

Thanks :)

I'm mostly a photographer but the video is nice to have. The K-7 is around the D300s level.

[SpartanJohns]

that is the best pattern i have seen.

[NechakoRiver]

Thanks, I really like it too.

[Ggreenvideos]

That patina does look kool :o)

[NechakoRiver]

The best part is that it covers up the ugly stains the blade got from being in a wet sheath while hunting.

[NewYorkRifleMan]

That finish is sweeeeet. Well done.

[NechakoRiver]

Thanks

Something bugs me about this knife. I really wanna buy it, but i dislike any slight recurveness an edge might have. Can you do a test for me please? Or even film it? By pictures i can't tell if this blade is a little bit recurve when it comes close to the handle i'm afraid it is. Just place the EDGE on a ftat surface and check to see if any light passes thru. Hopefully you got what i meant :D

Thanks bro!

[NechakoRiver]

The knife has a factory full convex grind so it has a curve to the blade.

[pickurn]

nice

what kind of sheath dose it have

[NechakoRiver]

It comes with a nice deep sheath. I'm not sure what the style is called.

[chrissept21]

i like everything about that knife the edge as i see in your other videos is very sharp and then handle and the pins and just wonderful

and the patina is amazing

thank you for makeing this video

[NechakoRiver]

No problem, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)

[hogielove]
