Thuya Hunter

[bjohnson]

Just finished this one. This was my first time working with thuya. It's different than any of the other woods I've worked with - likes to clog up sand paper.



OAL: 8"
Blade: 3″ cutting edge, 5/32″ CPM154, Heat treated to 61-62 HRC with cryo treatment, Hand finished to 600 grit
Handle: Stabilized thuya

Nicely done. The blade finish looks good and I am really digging that wood. I have not worked with that before. May have to try some.

Beautiful wood but I'm allergic to it. Don't have a problem with cococbolo but thuya works nasty on me.

Beautiful knife!

nice knife.

A tip someone said recently is to use a bit of mineral oil with thuya to stop that clogging.
