Right, must be one of those Magic Carpet Beetles...

I am waiting for the secret herbs and spices recipe that Viper uses on horn handles so I can cook a Viper Spice Turkey.

Damn Mike knifeswapper ! This is ugly.

Thank you for pulling out some "culls" to give a few of us a second chance. I love how the faces are a whitish blonde, but the edges are polished to translucent. It's hard to capture the effect with a camera, but it is really neat.

Yes, yes it is.

Is everybody that's been washing, buffing, scrubbing, polishing, and otherwise molesting the Rams Horn covers on your 2020 Blade Forums knives reading this? Scrub a dub-dub might give you a bug.

I'll be fine with my kerosene.

I asked the factory and they said they used a special organic compound with insect deterring herbs and left a good bit embedded in the horn. So, as long as nobody cleans out the compound they will be good for a couple decades.

Insect-deterring herbs?? I wonder what it is?
So far it's not deterring me!!

That's a score!! It might be the knicest blonde (knife anyway) I've seen yet.

I've been reading the sharpening comments and instructions with interest. Very good information and worth trying; however, as for portability, strops, paint sticks, and tubes/tubs of diamond paste are not necessarily the way to go - at least for me. The DMT sharpeners as well as other brand sharpeners shown in the following picture are easily carried and will do the job on M390 steel. Of course the coarseness level is up to the user. There are many shown - coarse, medium, fine, etc..

I carry one like the small one on the right upper corner in a CK leather slip in my left pocket every day. It was medium/fine but its wore down to a nice fine/super fine now.

Would you like to trade for one with dark scales?

Thanks so much for the offer, but this one has sort of grown on me.

Yes Sir reference series just added it to my modest 2 channel setup recently and I’m very impressed. It blends beautifully and hits hard depending on your flavor of music
