Thats the one I got. I used the red compound and tried the white but it left specks. I assume its more for stabilized wood. I hand rubbed rennaisance wax on than buffed. I dont care for the carnuba on knives because it shows fingerprints so easily.

That is fantastic! Really beautiful craftmanship. Cocobolo is a very hard wood. i used some to make guide blocks for my band saw three years ago LOL.

I am sorry if you have answered this a thousoand times but are your knives forged or stock reomoval? I love the shape of the blade on the top one.

See, now you've done it…. The conversation is now about both wood & little jokes. My brain is really a mess.

As for the knife. That's actually some really nice work. Wondering if you do anything girly?

I'd like to see a pic of her's if you get the time.

It's against the law to carry a folding pocket knife where my Dad & step-mom live. But they can carry sheathed knifes. Anyway, I'm always looking for gifts for them… They're the kind of people that I'd they want it they buy it meaning they're impossible to shop for.

How long do these take to make from start to finish?

TNBrat :) Hiding in the woods… ;)
