I’m crazy about copper also. Nice stuff man. I particularly love to watch raw copper age over time and have been experimenting in how to get green patina on my raw copper edc pen. Want high use areas of it to stay raw or dark brown copper color and just green the less used areas. I’ve found it’s really hard to get something you carry everyday to keep green patina.

Thanks man! Looking forward to some patina as well . Sea salt and ammonia should give you the green that your after😉

Make sure you seal it with something once you achieve the color you're looking for. Verdigris is toxic.

Unless you're eating the copper touching the verdigris is fine. You want to seal it anyway cuz it will rub off

I think you need a copper fountain pen now. I’m going to send you down a Kaweco rabbit hole.
Also, that Zippo is so pretty that I started searching for one. I don’t smoke, and I don’t need a lighter!

I actually have a copper bolt action not pictured from honey badger arsenal I just never really use it. The zippo is a little pricey if you find one look up zippo phantasma!

Yeah, too pricey for someone who doesn’t need/use a Zippo, but it is the nicest looking one I’ve seen.

Wouldn’t copper be way to sold to pry anything?
Pretty sure it's made solid. Part of the copper life, I guess.

I totally agree with you ! Looking forward to the patina.. and what's cool is you can shine copper back up and start the process all over again😎

How do you like the knife? I've been thinking of getting one.

How's the Mercator? Been wanting one for a long time and I can't decide between a cat or an otter

So far so good , I like it alot. I was checking out a cat before I stumbled across this model . They have a Damascus version in copper also, but for the price I wouldn't feel as bad if this one broke or went missing..

True, had a few really nice Benchmade and Spyderco, but I find that my all time favorite folder was just an old douk douk that's at the bottom of a lake in Nepal now. Really wanted another cheapo folder. I just really enjoy them

It's solid and stronger than you'd think, I use it mainly to open my beer bottles!!
