  • Knife antiporn.
    Just found this at the bottom of an old rucksack, not seen since my farming apprenticeship about 16yrs ago. Probably got it originally when I was in the Cubs as a nipper.
    Don’t remember butchering the handle but I was drunk through most of my apprenticeship.
    2 mins on a 45micron has got it pretty stabby again.
    Will use, absuse and probably lose it on the allotment.

  • It's pronounced patina :)

    Maybe put an orange lanyard on it. I always find that things blend into the garden.... which is why my main utility knife is orange.

    Or do the white and red paint thing - which would be quite cool on a opinel.

    Actually, if I want to paint my handle red/white, what's the best paint?

  • Good shout, in my tree work days I used to spray a lot of tools in hi viz marker paint, usually pink as it stopped the knuckle-draggers I worked with from nabbing my Silkys and showed up best in undergrowth.
