I just posted this older Trout-N-Bird to my website but thought ya'll might like seeing my latest pickling chore!
This #8-4" was traded to me by a good customer who likes bigger knives. It was unused and never been re-sharpened but had a couple of "stains" (not black carbon spots) on the blade.
I pickled the blade...twice...coating the blade after the second "dunkin'" with the Randall shop knife oil. It came out awesome, I think!
This knife is 1980's vintage and features one of the old Johnson "pouch-styled" sheaths! Still...to me...it would make somebody a great EDC/USER...so I pickled it to prevent rust, etc...
Hope you like it!
Happy New Year, Capt. Chris
