ADDITIONAL INFO: This knife is made with a blade from the Camillus factory that was unfinished when they closed in 2007. I finished the blank with genuine Snake Wood handles. The handles are held on with mosaic pins and also with epoxy to prevent moisture from getting behind the wood and causing damage. The Snake Wood is sanded to about 4000 grit and the wood is polished to a high sheen with hard carnauba wax. Due to the oily nature of Snake Wood, the handles will not take a traditional finish such as polyurethane or other spirit based finishes.
