    Hey Everyone, I'm about to finish up my first two knives that is planned for heavy usage and it's going to be a hunting knife. Knowing (or hoping) that it will be used to cut open and gut a lot of deer, what are the preferred products for finishing or sealing the handle? Do you put anything on...
