She has a name and it’s Christina

I’m awarding 15 points to whoever guesses the reason that I chose that name.
 
Maybe even 15 and 20 points



That’s a hint by the way
 
The model name is Arolinea by the way, and this was one of two or three prototypes.

Back when I was still treating this one as R&D and it had tigerwood scales, I somewhat forced the patina by deliberately leaving it wet and soiled with food juices, usually onion. This time I’m cleaning it up after each use so this may be a long haul.

Which is good because I’m treating this as my forever knife. This Arcolinea didn’t receive her given name of Christina until tonight though. And it’s the first knife of mine that I’ve given an actual name to (not just a model name) as far as I can remember.

A boat naming ceremony, often referred to as a christening, is a traditional event where a new name is given to a boat, typically involving rituals and celebrations to honor the sea and ensure safe voyages. This ceremony can include toasts, prayers, and the breaking of champagne over the boat.

Cheated with an AI to detail my answer guess . 🤓
 
15n20 takes on dramatic tones and shades of patina; especially, citrus of any kind.

Put a shiny edge on a cool patina blade and the contrast is quite dramatic...satisfying in look, for some reason.

I won't post a pic in this thread, but my 15n20 EDChef has developed it's unique looks for some time and the shine of it's sharp edges and dark patina, is again, pleasing to my eyes.

Patina aside, looks like a nice kitchen-crafter for processing and moving material quickly.
