For me, it is not the issue of contiminating the food as much as it is the protection of the handle from the elements. In my own experience, it is the banging around and sometimes left in the sink that influences the longevity of the handle’s finish. Even well applied, multiple coats of TruOil...

Hey scher, I agree with the dark look being what I want as well, but, sometimes there is hard, crusty stuff that looks bad and unfinished. It won’t scape out and I don’t want to ruin my checkering file.

Thank you John, I’ll try that. Hopefully that will fit the grooves. I’ve tried abrasive cord of the correct size, but, the abrasive scrubs off or the cord breaks before doing much.

How does anyone out there clean up the grooves after heat treating?

Looks like a handmade Smatchet. I’ve had no success with the name, although, there are paid name finding sites that show it.

Would love it! Scott

All good soundmind. It was only in fun. I imagine that anything that wipes the fine debris/oil and leaves no residue will work.

Why? I use it, it works well and I don’t have much in the way of safety concerns. Can you not find any? I reckon you could use some Everclear, take a nip here and there while prepping...

I also agree flat, but I like to ease the outer edges some.

Mark, I use a file guide and start mine on the spine edge going lightly. Then after those are done I use one or two of the end of the finished as my spacing guide. Take your time.

Got the scruntchies, hoping I didn’t screw up. Never know with new to me materials... YW Might look good with some multi-piece scales.
