Damascus Hunter from Hell

[ACLakey]

I had all kinds of issues with this build including dropping it right after heat treatment and breaking a chunk off the blade. I was able to grind it out, the blades a little odd but functional.

Damascus steel 1084/15n20
Micarta pins
Fiddleback Maple scales
Brass lanyard hole.

One coat of Tru oil, I'll buff it out when I'm done.

I have about ten coats of Tru oil on and the grain is starting to pop. It will look great when I polish it up. What is everyone's favorite wax to use with Tru oil?

Glad you stuck with it, I think it turned out very nicely!

Looks handy & capable.

Once the tru-oil sets up you shouldn't need any wax. It holds up pretty well. That said, I'd probably pick a hard car wax for it. With less-sealed wood I'd use a furniture wax.

I use blue label floor wax from Lee valley.
