This is killer. It’s soooo hard to not purchase right now.

Most excellent job.

Well I'm glad I can tease ya a bit I'd say do it

To whoever buys this, I'll do a clear cerakote on the handle for free so I can put the pictures on my sub.

This is a very generous offer and might be a solution to keeping that ivory paper nice!

This is beautiful, and it's the ivory paper micarta that aids in it's beauty. You did an amazing job shaping that handle.

As someone who has owned and used knives with ivory paper micarta (I even have one on order at the moment), you guys are missing a trick. All micarta gets dirty, I just use a magic eraser for my paper ivory handled knives but mineral oil works too. Well worth it for the unique beauty that comes with it.

Thank you very much for the kind words!
I have some atomic oil that I was gonna use to help seal it! Are you talking about just a plain ol magic eraser from the grocery store? Cause that would definitely be a cheap way to maintain! Especially since you'd have to already oil the knife from time to time. Before an oiling just wipe down the handle with the eraser. I like that!

This one's a beauty for sure. Looks real comfy too.

I was just going to post that I have had a couple white micarta handled knives and although I've never grabbed them with motor oil on my hands yes they get dirty or a bit dull, but they also clean up pretty nicely.

Thank you boss! I'm in the same boat. Never grabbed a knife with oil on my hands either. I think SwissHeritageCo has the right idea with a magic eraser!

Gorgeous!

I've owned and made several knives with ivory micarta handles...WD-40 and a nylon brush will get pretty much anything out of it. I have one handle that was jigged like bone (and left kind rough inside those grooves) that I used to process a deer, and it seemed like I was never going to get the blood out of it, but a little dawn in hot water and the same nylon brush worked wonders. After that, I waxed the scales with RenWax, buffing it off the flats but leaving it inside the little grooves, I've hunted several times with the knife since, and that completely solved the blood-sponge problem. The way he finished this, it'll clean up very easy.

Thank you another good potential solution!
