I haven't made a kitchen knife with Osage but I have made a couple for an avid outdoorsman. Big time waterfowl hunter and uses his knives the way they were meant to be used. In all kinds of weather and environments. He's really put them to the test and they have held up perfectly. They were...

My brother is expecting his first grandson soon and wanted a knife for him. He went to Bladeshow with me this year and picked out some materials. AEB-L and some hybrid wood scales. Overall length is just 6.25 inches. He plans to give it to him on the day he is born. A true "birthday" present.

Very nice work! He has a bright future ahead of him.

Hey Fred! Glad to hear from you. I hate doing multiples too. It’s drudgery.

Thanks for the info. Wasn't aware of that.

I’ve used it on bolsters and like it very much. I would probably stabilize it before using it. May not need it but wouldn’t hurt.

I sand to 800 grit. Use white then pink compound. Using two loose buffing wheels, one for each compound, and light pressure seems to work well. I don't avoid the pins. They get polished as well. I use the center of the wheel for the scales and the edges for the spine.

The bolster on this knife is imitation ivory. A very light color and softer than stabilized wood. It was buffed with white compound and then pink. I don’t think his problem is the buffer but compound choice and technique.

You may be using a too aggressive buffing compound. I buff with white first followed by a "no scratch" pink. Doesn't take a lot of pressure to get a good shine.

Beautiful knife! Very well done!

Finished up a three knife order this week. Ready to deliver.

It’s some sort of imitation stone but it’s a resin type material.

Number two of a three knife order. I got the third one glued up tonight. I’ll finish it tomorrow. Knifeshop Bandaid :D

Unfortunately I will have to bow out of this year’s KITH. Too many orders to get done.

Looks good! That will come in handy.
