This is very cool! Shindo Nakiri & Kitchenknivesid vote here. I’d like to join pass around. I have good engagement and have bought a few knives here, but still pretty new so no hard feelings if I don’t meet criteria. Location: CT

In x3! In, following, no jnats yet. Way cool Jedy!!!

Yeah seriously, I love this!

Looks like a weighty handle, but if used/balanced with a pinch grip, a relief to the front of the scales is a nice touch. Agree with the above comments about pins. I like simpler and odd number. Also, simple handle with fancy pins, fancy handle with simple pins. Same goes for handle and blade...

This looks like a real life version of a knife emoji 😅

Very cool, thank you @birdsfan, you're always a help.

I plan to start making handles as well and am also interested in any recommended resources.

@cotedupy stunning wood and horn combo! 🤩

I’m a big EDC guy.

38 I think, it keeps getting harder to remember 😵‍💫

Your intro title is hilarious, you’ll definitely fit right in. This is a wonderful community with a ton of knowledge, welcome to the party.

You can instantly see a TF in a pile of knives just from it. As I said...

@Heckel7302 dang, I think it was your post I read. That's a shame.

Good call on the stainless @Heckel7302 . If that is the case, I'd try black nail polish. Again, clean very well with acetone or isopropyl alcohol and then apply. Nail polish will be durable yet easily removeable with safe chemicals down the line.
