seen some pics of steak cutting that brought out some nice colors tints. i have some various vines in my backyard that bring out a blue purple color on carbon steels. cutting fruits and vegetables will turn it fast enough. limes work well on dark tinting from my experiences. guess my end of ramblings are use it and it will turn.I welcome any suggestions for developing a dark natural patina.
Beef, lemon ? etc. Plan to use the knife and wipe away after a short soaking?

errrrrrr . . .
couldn't help but notice this knife is ~$24 more than the blurple S110V (which I have). Isn't this 52100 inexpensive steel and way easier to heat treat than S110V ? Is the price increase just for a superficial (? non structural ?) layer of carbon fiber on top of the real handle material ?
Kind of making the ~$50 leap from there to the M4 that I want look less far but . . .
dang . . . S110V for $24 LESS ?
It’s a full carbon fiber scale, not a layer.
AhhhhhIt’s a full carbon fiber scale, not a layer.

Scale is not Carbon Fiber, rather
Handle Material: Peel-Ply Carbon Fiber

Yes. Maybe they listed it wrong at one point. A couple of dealers listed it as a Sprint which it is not.Really? I looked at GP Knives site and they say it's the peel ply CF and G-10 combo scale.
This is my first experience with carbon fiber. I love it although I would have bought 52100 with any scale. I find it more grippy than my usual G10 edc but that may be due to wear.
Admiring its beauty, I noticed the Sal/Eric/Golden engravings inlayed with gold or a gold coloring. Am I seeing things? If I decided to try to keep it pristine with daily use and carry, would cleaning and a daily wipe down with tuf-cloth suffice?
