Super pretty knife. Your handle contouring is very nice.

Super pretty knife. Your handle contouring is very nice.

Thank you. I’ve started using a 12” wheel on the front and 8” on the butt to start the contouring. I like the feel better than using 8” on front and butt. Sutle difference but I think it’s better.

Thank you. The amboyna is stabilized by K&G so it’s just sanded and buffed.

Thank you. Since it is stabilized I just sanded to 800grit and then took it to the buffing wheels.
