I have been working a lot lately on Knives. Here's 2, I made with wood I have never used before. Really like the "Brazilian Bocote", easy to work with. These 2 Knives are about the same size. Man, I got to start making Sheaths !!....Hope y'all like 'em. Thanks for Looking!

Frank

Steel.....1095 HT by me
Handles.....Brazilian Bocote (Louro Preto) and Rengas Tiger (Borneo Rosewood)

OAL.....8 1/4"

Handle.....4 1/4"

Rengas Tiger:



Brazilian Bocote:

Nice work Frank! That Bocote has some WICKED looking grain.

Excellent work as always. Still love that finish.

Sorry I was not more specific, Frank. How did you treat the 1095? The marbling looks like it is etched with something. Looks almost like damascus. I really like the look of it. Can you describe how you did it?
