A change of pace here. Back in the 80s when I was a teenager, I loved blades. Wait, I still love blades! But back then I didn't have as much access to them. The local Flea Market had some knife booths that I frequented. I bought a machete from one of them and abused it a little. I've had it wrapped up in a paper bag, taped around the blade for probably 25 years.
It tarnished and got some patina. It also had left over sap from the pine tree I used to throw it at. I was a teenager remember? I pulled it out and polished the sides up a bunch and then went to work on the edge. Here are the results:
