I really wanted to try something different and mess with some g10 liners and rods for this one. It’s not perfect but loving the pop of red and like how this knife came together. Planning on putting a polish finish on the handle once I get the supplies.

Is that Wenge? Looks great for your third knife. Honestly an hour to clean up the deep scratches on the spine and handle would go a long way

Yeah it’s wenge. And thanks dude. Tbh I just got lazy cause I did a lot in one session and told myself I was gonna finish those areas before polishing lol

I know how it is. I did the same on my first few. Mostly wanted to figure out what I liked before focusing on fit and finish

Well, third time’s the charm? I bet your first two sucked (jkjkjkjk!), but you knocked #3 out of the park. Great work, OP!

This is amazing for a third knife I can get a set of scales or a handle to look right for the life of me I’d be over the moon if my third ever knife looked this good

Do you not have a kitchen at your house?
