A couple of Spanish Olive wood folders.

Excellent job on the re-handling using Olivewood 'firewood' :thumbup: Some beautiful whorls and knots, looks luxurious!

Hope you can show more of your work in the future?

Thanks, Will

Thank you.

It is the Cudeman 325 w 9.5cm (3.75 inch) blade, right?
Have it and love it! Oiled the handle with olive oil. Like the results. Very good knife.

Hi from Sweden btw.

I've used Olive quite a bit & it goes without saying wear a mask, it's known more as a irritant of the respiratory system. It smells lovely when being worked, of course you shouldn't be able to smell it!!

Below are two knives made by me with Olive wood from a fire wood stack!

??? I thought this pattern was made by JM Remaud or Alfred Dobner...

I've always loved the look of Olive wood. I wish we'd see more of it stateside. Blondes on general don't seem to be as popular here.

Yes it is a nice knife, if you rub it with very fine wire wool & oil it a few times over days/weeks it'll look much better than when new, it'll start to "glow".

If you are suggesting the pattern belongs to to them you might want to Google "barrel knife" & enjoy reading.
A traditional sweedish knife made since by many custom makers.

The olive one is the largest one I've made at 7" folded! Others I have made here- http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1442159-Barrel-Knives?p=16608781#post16608781
