Ben Greenburg, AKA Hellspawn415, was very kind a few weeks ago and offered to send me a few samples of Mexican Kingwood. As I understand, Ben is a wood fanatic, and is getting into that business, so I do wish him much success in that endeavor, on TOP of a huge, "THANK YOU!!!" for sending me some toys to play with! I have never worked with Kingwood before, but quite like how it works. Padauk is another wood I've not experienced until recently that I do enjoy working with. The finish on this knife, made from Ben's Mexican Kingwood, was simply taken to 1200 grit and then polished plus a coat of wax.
The steel is Aldo's 1095, ground thin to win! The knife is spoken for by a kind bloke across the pond, but wanted to show the Mexican Kingwood and thank Ben for such a kind gift. If you are looking for some wood for knife handles....you might get with Ben Greenburg. Ben, I apologize if I remember wrong and you become flooded with emails asking about knife scales!!!
