Schrade Sharpfinger

I have a Sharpfinger that I bought a while back...it is actually like my 10th Sharpfinger over the years. I have gifted or sold the others. I stick to the older USA made versions.

This isn't mine, but it is the same vintage and style of sheath too. My sheath needs to have a re-sew in two spots.

My question is the blade on mine has a little staining, not rust, but a shadow on the blade. I have tried a couple of polishes, but have not had success at removing the staining.
 
Carbon steel knives get a patina. It's what they do, it helps protect the blade from actual rust. Most carbon steel guys appreciate a good patina. I have actually forced a patina on new carbon steel blades by using them on a citrus fruit like lemon and not wiping the blade off immediately. Embrace the patina!

Will do...I'll get the sheath stitched up and get some pics of my well patina-ed sharpfinger. Thanks
 
Back in the 1970's my wife carried a sharpfinger for her hunting knife but I preferred the Schrade drop point hunter almost the same knife but a different shape to the blade.

Well this thread made me want the pair to keep this time...they will go into my predator calling pack. I found the drop point on-line...it arrived this morning. The drop point and the Sharp Finger together...same vintage with the sheath snap strap over the side rather than around the handle.
