I bought that knife back in 1980 and used it constantly until about 5 or 6 years ago when I semi-retired it after Mike Stewart refurbished it for me.
I will know fully retire it as I couldn't bare to lose it now

As for a patina, I love the natural patina that a well used/cared for carbon blade attains.
At my heart I love traditional steel.
