2 wee little skinners

[BenR.T.]

Here are 2 I just finished up, they will both be going with me to the OKCA show in April.
The first one has osage handles, stainless pins and an antiqued blade. The handles are actually a bright yellow, but was hard to capture.
The second one has super curly Bastogne walnut handles, and stainless pins again, with some modest scallop file work.
I took both handle 1000 grit for super smooth finish.
Both are about 5 1/2" long with 2 1/2" blades of L6.
The last pic better shows the real color.

Really nice work man I like the antiqued look on the blades. What do you use to finish your handles?

Thanks, I finish all my wood handles with Watco Teak oil.
