Nico I am thinking that maybe I can keep it oiled real good and keep it out of the elements. Have to look at some others and see what I want to do with it.
Glenn, you don`t even have to oil it, just wipe it off with a dry cloth when you get done usin` it. Look in the Hobby Forum under Custom Cutlery Collection and you can see what my three hawks look like.
No, it`s just a natural agin` process called patina that the steel gets. Due to the use that a hawk gets, any blue or brown that you put on it will soon be worn off.
