So last week I found a black walnut in my yard and wanted to show my girls that under the green skin and the meat (flesh? Not sure on the correct term), there is a nut in a shell.
I wiped down the blade, but did not wash it before sheathing it and later setting in a shelf. A few days later I needed it and found a purpley, brown patina all along the edge of the blade where there was no cerakote.
It's been stormy here for the last week and a half and any time I found fallen tree limbs in my yard I chucked them in a pile. Today I wanted to turn these big branches into smaller pieces and I used my cruforge 4.7 for some wicked cross batoning action.
Wouldn't it have been easier and faster to chop or saw these branches? Well....... yes, but I just felt like using my 4.7
Anyways, what I thought would be pretty serious staining or corrosion all came off with my simple wood working project. I was pleased.
On another note, I've been using my cruforge on and off since the last week of July and despite the weekly use it will still take a little hair off my arm if I get the angle right. That is, the straight edge will still take a little hair. The curved part of the edge left me with a little bald patch.
I'm still waiting for the edge to dull enough to not shave at all so I can see how she does on a strop.
