Utility Fighter Appreciation Thread

[Nathan the Machinist]

I wanted to ask you, Nathan: have you used / considered using Pau Ferro ? It's very common for gun grips and guitars, and a beautiful, "mellow" lighter color. Never seen it for knife scales though, don't know why.

I think it's kinda cheap. If I want something with that look I'm probably going to use good Cocobolo or Arizona desert ironwood.

That said, those do look like some pretty good examples of it.

I'd agree to disagree with you, just because it's easier to get, doesn't mean it would look cheap or be less functional. It's a Utility Fighter after all

Everybody uses Ironwood and Cocobolo in the knife world
