Legendary shot! Is this just the standard S30V blade? I've got a titanium Millie, and would love for it to look like this one day. Did you force the wear and patina, or is it (hopefully) natural?

It's an M4 blade swapped into the titanium Millie handles. It's a natural patina from cutting fruit, food, etc.

Thanks for the reply. It's a beauty for sure!

This M390 Delica looked like a true beater until 2 days ago. It was dirty, a screw was missing in the clip, the scales are worn, the blade was horribly scratched and about half the black was missing on the clip. Started with 220 grit and finished with 3000 grit hand sanding the blade. It's not a great polish job but it sure looks nicer than it did. Sanded the clip which had the benefit of leaving the Spydie logo nicely highlighted. Cleaned it up and reprofiled to 15 degrees. Finished by stropping to a nicely mirrored edge. I am very happy with the makeover. I wish I had taken a before photo.

What model is this please?

 

[colubrid]

Got this one new in 2000. It has many many miles on it.

WOW! The 2000 Emerson CQC-7 is really special also becaue of the year. Love to see the original design (no wave) used all those years.

That's a keeper!

I had to laugh when I read culobrid post.
If you go on EDC sites everyone's watch knife, etc always look perfect.

Not an everyday beater, but it's one I'll go to when a beating is needed:

 

[colubrid]

Over 100 year old folder that I carry everyday as a secondary.. blades are still tight as a drum as well with no side to side play. The reason I carry it because its ease to sharpen + edge holding is still better than any modern iv'e known.


Shrade Cut Co. Stamp dates to approx 1915.

That one is in my right pocket everyday. The little flathead/pry bar and sheepsfoot blade get all the use out of the four. If I carry a drop point Crk instead of an insingo I always have the sheepsfoot on the Alox electrician.

 

[colubrid]

Over decade of dishwasher machine cycles faded the black grips.

Even clip titanium clips black coating washed off. I think it looks better this way. I noticed that dish washing machine cycles tend to take out small scratches that knives get.

Some self defense carry.. The Emerson Commander is also useful and fits in the hand Ohhh so nice.
