Third times a charm LOL I had to sand my handle down 3 Times before I found this video and learned what not to do. My handle looked amazing but the stuff felt slightly tacky and after two days I realized something was wrong..,,YEP... Thin coats, you're so right, it feels like taffy candy coating and won't dry, thank you for letting people know.
I do a very light buff......loose wheel, with a small amount of pink no-scratch. If there is any cloudiness left, hand apply and hand rub with some carnauba wax.
Yes.... the front of scales are fully Completed before installation. Once installed, they front of scales (or the front of a guard on a hidden or full tang) is never touched again.
@@TwilighT-975 If you're talking about applying Tru-Oil to a cutting board....as a finish...NO! While Tru-Oil is relatively waterproof, it's not intended for being soaked in the kinds of fluids you would find in using a cutting board. In terms of something used to finish wood products, NOTHING is completely "Food Safe". "Food Safe" means a lot of different things, in different areas of the world. Some places call things "Food safe" only if its completely natural, and actually eating or drinking the product is safe. In other places "Food Safe" can means a toxic material, but ingesting a tiny amount will not be harmful. IT IS UP TO YOU to determine what "Food Safe" means depending on where you live, the rules there, and your own best judgement.

easy to follow, great video. thank you.
Love the background music
I wonder if that's similar to Waterlox.
Ok so . . .have you prefinished the leading edge of the scale so it's no biggie if you get Vaseline on it?
Yes.... the front of scales are fully Completed before installation. Once installed, they front of scales (or the front of a guard on a hidden or full tang) is never touched again.
Did you buy those full tang blades? If so where from?
No..... I'm a full time Bladesmith/Knifemaker..... ALL blades are made by me, most are forged. Those are my EBK Gen2 pattern.
See also,"Hey Hatori Hanzo,where'd you get the blades for those swords you make?" Lol.
Can I use tru-oil with chef knifes?
Sure, but as with any custom knife..... NOT dishwasher safe. ;)
