    I'm just letting them sit and harden. The Tru-oil is so thick with so many layers a little time to harden it is a good idea. BTW, Those are dry.

    Looking good Mike.
    All hand work. The frown has been there from the beginning. Its because of how it was honed originally.
    The heel section has never been honed before, so there's more meat there than should be. Ain't nothing a bit of honing wont fix.

    Genco Heavy in Walnut with solid brass collars and silver nic pins.
    Geneva Cutlery in Zebrawood with solid brass collars and silver nic pins.
    blades needed heal work and sanding to hide the bad hone wear.
    Both scales finished with Tru-oil and now ready for the hones.

    Nice Jerry. Very well done. The wood looks really good and the blades also. Nice job pinning too.

    Getting this one ready to sell and decided this one needed to be re-pinned and when I got done that's what I found.

    Were you setting the pins with the blade closed?
