Small Wenge EDC

This is the latest knife I have made. It has Wenge scales with brass pins. I really do like working with Wenge, it takes a nice warm wax finish.

I like that a lot! What is Wenge??

Wenge wood comes from Central Africa. I picked it up at a local specialty wood shop.

It's hand sanded to 220 grit ( I raise the grain between grits) and hand rubbed with Renaissance wax a couple of times. After that I polish the wax with 1500 grit sandpaper.
