Just picked up this well loved 73, and the Osage has darkened to the same shade as my well loved Osage chisel mallet

That's a super picture there, I imagine you'll be carrying that one a lot then

People look at you funny when you carry a mallet in public...
Jk, the 73 is actually going to live on my workbench among all the other wood handles.

redsparrow - Thanks for the compliment.
I will be sure to post updates.
Ben - take my word, drop that 73 in your pocket, you will not regret it!
Every time I see an Osage orange wood knife I haven't seen before, or a marvelous hunk of wood like that mallet, I fall in love with it a little bit more.
My #18 now has 2 light mystery scratches on the pileside bolster, out of %@&#in' nowhere, not at all commensurate with the near-primo condition of my real EDC 'yote, the brown camel bone (not a damn significant scratch on it!). :grumpy:
Starting to wonder if there isn't some voodoo going on. I think the Osage wants to get some EDC play, since it's basically forever marked as mine now. The coloration of the wood from use makes a compelling argument, and my wandering eye remains on the lookout for compatible biggie-sized Osage-clad knives. Fighting it is probably a losing battle anyway. What are the odds someone could convince GEC to do a run of #77s in Osage...with brass bolsters?

Never saw an African Blackwood I didn't like.
Another Queen in zebrawood, the 4" stockman. I just put it back in my pocket yesterday, and will carry it for a few more days.
I have one just like that. One of my favorite "working knives".
