Osage arrived today.

Why are all the Osage 'dirty' at the bolster and handle meeting point ?

Why are all the Osage 'dirty' at the bolster and handle meeting ?

My guess would be buffing compound.

My guess would be buffing compound.

That is what I have been thinking. I don't have an Osage to compare or try to clean. Has anyone tried to clean the area ? Just curious.

I have some blue tape I am willing to loan to GEC : )

Why are all the Osage 'dirty' at the bolster and handle meeting point ?

Definitely from either buffing or shaping/sanding/grinding

One of the best things I've ever found to help clean pores of wood after shaping and sanding is Formby's Lemon Oil Treatment. Stuff works like a wonder for getting sanding grit and grime out of wood.... it's also amazing at like instantly taking sticky tape residue and stuff off of blades.

Edit: so unfortunately it looks like Formby's is entirely discontinued now which is a HUGE bummer. Although I haven't tried it myself, I suspect the Parker & Bailey penetrating Lemon Oil Polish would probably work the same.

Couldn't say for sure but guess like the others that it's compound, funny its mainly on the mark side in that particular area but not on the pile side. Glad it doesn't bother me, actually I like it

I just got the one I wanted out of this run. The others look nice, but glow-in-the-dark best fits the silliness of the knife, in my opinion.

I lied, I did try really hard to get that one, it’s the best of the run in my mind. Looks great, congrats!

Barglow arrive, great material was glad I was able to grab one. Shown with unicorn acrylic and cocobola.

My Osage just came in, I bought this one partially because I don't have any in Osage handle material. I really like it!

I guess we'll find out!
I'm not much of a beer drinker, but this Beerlow just be big enough to slice a few limes for margaritas.

I agree. Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing. My Cocobolo #25 came yesterday and the bolster was pretty bad. Nothing I couldn’t fix but still it was kind of surprising to see coming from GEC.

 

[TheFactor]

Hmmm what’s in the box Red Saw cut or Bocote?

 

[TheFactor]

Very impressed with this one fit and finish is spot on at least to my Standards/expectations. Centered blade , perfect pull and snap. Pins are nestled in nicely and love the color and texture of this Red bone saw cut. Great job GEC Thank you !!
Most importantly it does the job as advertised

I’m really happy and like it even more than I thought I would
