Title: Two new cocobola knives
Post by: TrackerNy on August 02, 2016, 11:06:00 AM

Here's a couple I just finished. Blades are CPM35VN stainless, about 4 1/2" and 8 1/2" overall.

Thanks Todd. Got lucky with the cocobola. Never know when your going to lose the grain when you grind it.

I'm getting ready to put some cocobolo on a knife here pretty soon, I'm anxious to see how the scales turn out after I cut the block. I can only hope they look half as good as your scales turned out.

Caley I was luck enough to get some cocobola where the dark grain went all the way though the block. There have been times when I've lost some of the grain when I ground them down. Good luck with yours.
