Helps with fingerprints a lot.
Keep them coming!

Welcome to the pound! The best people in the world are here on this site, you can take that to the bank!
Very nice work. I really like the box elder on that one. The grind really makes that damascus stand out.
Keep it up!

Great job on those Garry! I have to make two knives basically the same size soon, one for each of my sisters. I can only hope mine turn out like those did.
Keep it up!
