[Walkindude]

I know its not super fancy and spectacular like some of the ones you guys post ! But its my first 163, and I'm likin it ! :thumbup:

Snaps like a gator, and looks wicked if nothing else ! Anybody want to post pics of thiers?

I have been looking for a straight blade 163 for some time, I have a serrated 163 on the right hand side of the pic, the others are a Schrade-Walen 136, Schrade 136 Linemans knives and Pennsylvania Power And Light Co 136.

Thats a nice group there Rusty :thumbup:
Did you put anything on the handles to brighten them up? I was thinking about a couple of coats of Tung oil after I get the cleaned.

Walkindude, nothing on the handles at all, they're pretty much as I received them, just a wipe down with a clean cloth, not really sure would be the best product to use on the wood.

Mine was pretty grungy, I used a little mineral spirits and brushed lightly with some 0000 Steel wool, looks good now !

You could finish it off with some mineral oil. Works great on metal as well as wood, stag etc.. It's what we treat wood cutting boards with, not to mention BRL recommends it as well:thumbup:
