These two are the last RGR blades in African Blackwood that I want to do.
The result is a great handle,the wood is rated waterproof. But its nasty to work,filthy,and uses more abrasives & takes more time. It is not practical for this type of knife
Anyhow ,nuff bitchin. First $140 gets them,shipped in USA
These are 1095 carbon steel flat ground. Stock on parer is thin so I did thick scales on that,and the boning is 3/32" ,thinner scales. Brass pins
