Another lesson learned, more experience gained.

Thanks again for the tips and comments, I really appreciate it.

About the burn. My wife said the same thing and I tend to agree. With the overall look and materials used, the burn actually helped the appearance. The problem however, and it's still eating at me, was that I got lucky on this one. As I said, I really like the Corbie / Epoxy usage on the handle, and I'm really second guessing it. But, like James said, I have to get over that and not second guess myself now. I'm stuck.

I have (4) more heat treated blades on the bench right now that I'm putting scales on. I'm going to take the advise from here and try and apply it. Hopefully there will be no more burn rings on the scales or my thumb.
 
If you had not said Koa I would have guessed Sycamore. Good looking knife
 
My very first post. Been reading on these forums for quite a while and going to look at a CL 2x42 Craftsman tomorrow. Looks like my lifelong passion is closer to reality. Not the ideal tool, but seeing stuff like this come out of a 2x42 makes me confident that the tool's potential is greater than mine. But anyway.... am I the only one that found the whole "stuck my thumb on it" thing hilarious? Thats the kind of stuff I do (and then rat myself out too, cause its funny sh@#). Great looking knife. Accent rings and all.

I would never give the father in law a damaged knife like that. I'll be happy to take that ugly duckling off your hands. :) Seriously, I like the way it makes the bolt pop and gives it definition. There is nothing about that knife that is not perfect to me!

Most guys learn pretty quick that things don't have to look hot to be hot. Some guys (like me) learn slower :o :D
