Now THAT should look nice.
You could always do what I call rust bluing, or it may more accurately be referred to as Browning(?)
Wet down the blade, or just shove it in damp ground for a couple hours or maybe even a day. Let rust form on the steel, then rub it off with a scotch brite pad, repeat until you get a finish that will almost not rust at all. Thats an interesting idea. I will have to test that on one of my other knives. Makes sense though. Bet it looks cool too.

Well after I thought about it it was done to a blued shotgun barrel. NOT a knife. Sorry, my old brain cells got mixed up.
What Happened to a satin finished knife blade I have is that It as well has became VERY resistant to rust but remains (due to the removal of any rust) a sort of shiny/satin finish.
sorry Steeley, I just got my rusting steel stories mixed up.

Oh and the knife I am talking about is that Negreto hunting bolo I got in the Philippines back in '75 or '76.

Great little review. Thanks.
I stripped one of mine as well(got 3 of them), and then soaked it in mashed up lemons. It a pretty cool finish. Will get som pics up, once I get some sheaths for 'em.
I really like the 311 as well!
