    That handle is pretty sweet. What was the process in making it?

    pretty simple, draw out the top and bottom shape, sand down to the line, draw out the side and sand again then shape it. sanded down to 600 grit and carve out the inner slot with drill and saw on my swiss army. used a clear danish oil on it to get it to pop, will use renaissance wax to polish it up later. still needs to be epoxied in. wood is cocobola, seems im really allergic to it, google says a week before the itching stops =) its kinda like a finnish puukko design

    Cool. But I thought you didn't like paring knives. :) Well, at least now you can cut up some pares. LOL

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I love the snow, fish. It's supposed to be below 0 in the morning tomorrow. Nothing better than feeling that chill hit your face and taking a breath.
