But the novelty was fun. I think I paid like $20 delivered for the scales. I thought a fair deal. He told me the steel but I forgot, he’s pretty well versed on that. I do hope the lanyard and pins go well. It’s not his first time by a long shot though.
I probably goaded him into making it too thick. It’s a beast. I don’t like how it narrows toward the front of the grip but it’s sort of his trademark. I also told him I’d prefer more chunky handles compared to too thin. I’m crap with knives but wanted a robust trail piece that I could probably keep a consistent angle to sharpen.
I hear olive wood sort of smells like roses while sanding and working?!

O-1 is a good oil hardening steel.
