Thread: Mirror vs. patina

Has the blade been sanded? It might just be my monitor, but it looks to have plenty of odd marks from sanding all over it, plus what looks like a fair bit of pitting.

Mind you, I am sensitive to pitting - even so-called 'water marks' are a form of light pitting to me, as evidenced by the shallow depression revealed when looking at them under the right lighting conditions.

If there are light scratching/sanding marks on the blade, any patina that took years to build up disappeared at the time those marks were made.

Not sanded by me. And the photo could be better. But I take your meaning.
