Go on, rub it in!:thumbup:
Lol, I'd send you one but it just isn't the same as fresh and warm from the oven.![]()
I like the color of your knife. Mine is very dark. You can only see the wood grain when it is in he shade. In the sun it almost looks like African Blackwood. I want to find a second one to use.
Gave this old forum knife some pocket time today

That looks good too Travman. It looks as though someone may have refinished the wood as most of them came from the factory with the lighter coloring and no shine to it.
Thanks Bob. I hadn't considered that. I'll go with that theory until someone says otherwise.Actually, the more I look at it, yours appears to be cocobolo.
