Thank you! I’m reasonably confident it’s cocobolo that has darkened over the years, the color still shows through in direct sunlight.

My farmer’s jack has been busy cutting up my lunchtime apples!

Thanks for showing, and interesting how cocobolo could darken with time. Curious how the Farmer's Jack will look like in a few months and years...
I enjoy my denim #38 also a lot, using it for the same purpose.

They really are one of those knives that looks better well-used. Yours is coming along great, the shield and cover choices on that one are really nice!

That RR canoe is awesome

Thanks, Dave. It came with white bone handles new and I gave it a bath with some brown dye. I think it added some nice character.

Excellent pairing and that's a very nice dish that shows them off so well. What material is it please?
