Two new cocobola knives
« 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.

That is some beatiful Cocobolo on very nice knives.

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.
