  1. Thank you Bob, Thank you Ron. masrol sumairi
  2. Hello all, I did make a search if this finishing topic has been posted anywhere. Since I could not find exactly the same issue, I like to get your opinion on this matter. This is the first time I made knife handle and it is from Indian Rosewood - stabilized scales. I have now applied 5 coats of "Danish Oil". I'm not very sure what is the best compatible "top coat" if I need durable proctection. For your info, it is a Brazos Skinner that will be heavily used for skinning(once a year). Since it surely will get very much stains from fresh blood, I may use water to clean it. So I seek fo your suggestion on the next finish to apply. See also images attached. Thank you. masrol sumairi

  4. Biff, I read your reply with deep interest. It looks very proffessional advice by an experienced knife maker. And your answer is just in time coz I have not started honing it yet the way I thought it would be. Thank you very much Biff. Wish you all the best, and take care!
  5. Ooop! sorry Rich, I forgot to mention that I bought this knife blade at texasknife.com readily finished but without handle. I just wanted to learn making the wooden handle. So I'm not sure how to polish/hone stainless steel. Thank you Rich.
  6. Hello all, I hope I'm posting this question in the right section. Being the first time making a knife handle, I forgot to mask my stainless steel blade while contouring & shaping the handle and the bolster using sandpaper. So the blade got visible scratches, and it looks ugly. I seek your advice on how to minimize or remove those scratches. Can I use honing compound and handbuff it or I have to use buffing wheel on drill? And which buffing material to use, muslin or all cotton? Any views and suggestions are very much appreciated. Kindly look at the pic attached. Thank you.
  7. Great looking wood for knife handle. Have you decided on the finish to ue for this wood? Looking forward to looking some pics and thanks for sharing.
