Ya coulda' let me know.Yeah man, didn't you catch the sale? Too late now!
You’re going back and forth aren’t you?I finally put some proper edges on my stag 32 and now it may give my Ebony 81 some competition for carry and use.
You’re going back and forth aren’t you?I’ve been doing the same exact thing and I’m starting to settle on the 32 (hemlock jigged bone) as my favorite just ahead of the 81 (either ebony or ironwood).
Sometimes a knife and handle material are just made for each other,so as much as I like the jigged hemlock on 32 it's the cocoblo that makes me gravitate to the 32,i also feel they found quite an exquisite batch of cocobolo to use on them.the stag 32,we'll it's stag it always peaks to the top.You’re going back and forth aren’t you?I’ve been doing the same exact thing and I’m starting to settle on the 32 (hemlock jigged bone) as my favorite just ahead of the 81 (either ebony or ironwood).
I agree with you that they did have some amazing looking cocobolo on this run, however mine isn't the greatest example of that.Sometimes a knife and handle material are just made for each other,so as much as I like the jigged hemlock on 32 it's the cocoblo that makes me gravitate to the 32,i also feel they found quite an exquisite batch of cocobolo to use on them.the stag 32,we'll it's stag it always peaks to the top.
One like Yours is why the cocoblo was great on this run,you have some nice long ruts.I agree with you that they did have some amazing looking cocobolo on this run, however mine isn't the greatest example of that.

I’m going to try that on mine, thanks. I know cocobolo turns black eventually and I’m eagerly awaiting that day.When I received my knife, the wood had a very light brown with deep variations in it. After oiling, it immediately became quite dark and the variations are not so visible anymore. Still a beautiful knife with crisp action, perfect fit and finish.
