Did your Traditional knife get a workout today? -Part II

[Chui]

B Bigburly912 - lovely knives indeed.

and your elbow heals very soon.

Particularly love the one on the left - do you know the wood.? (perhaps Koa or Ringed Gidgee…)

Elbow strengthened up now, hopefully back to work next week. Wood is curly maple

A piece of Osage Orange, just decided to whittle it a bit. Going to make it really thin and see if it flies like a boomerang. I just started on this.

So how did that work out?
Speaking of whittling,
I fitted a handle to my new billhook.

I know Horace Kephart's jackknife had a blade equal to whittling seasoned hickory, but I like a fixed blade for dry hardwood. And my first actual use of my Kansbol was very satisfactory.
