Best smelling knife around

Post by agteacher2 »

Here is a Aromatic Red Cedar Handle that I finished today. My little shop smells "April fresh". A welcome change after antler and Buff. horn both of which smell like horse feet.

Thanks S-K,

I'll order one with my next order and give it a try. Any suggestion on handle material.

Right now I have
BIRCH BURL, SPALTED MAPLE, BIRDSEYE MAPLE, PINK IVORY, COCOBOLO, BLOODWOOD, BENGE, ZEBRAWOOD, NOGAL, PURPLEHEART, GRANADILLO, HICKORY, LACEWOOD, PRIMA VERA, SASSAFRAS, BUTTERNUT, YELLOW BIRCH, CANARYWOOD, PAELA, BASSWOOD, SPANISH CEDAR, CHEN CHEN, PAU AMARILLO, BUFFALO HORN, BRAZILIAN CHERRY, ELK ANTLER

I do have my mind set on a Case peanut with Buff. Horn. And I'm working on several more trappers now.

Don't know

Post by smiling-knife »

Hi... thanks for the response. I must admit that I don't know what 1/2 or more of those options would look like. I am partial to the Buffalo horn and some of the woods, but happily defer to your expertise. Maybe something different, but I am a little traditional in my tastes (i.e., not pink ivory for a stockman). I also like tuxedo and pen knives. If you have an inspiration there and it is possible, I am definitely interested. Maybe down the road some. keep up the great work. ::tu:: s-k :)

p.s. purely based on the names... Brazilian cherry, purple heart, zebra wood, blood wood, elk antler?
