I spent the better part of the weekend at Montgomery Community College in Troy, NC, and came home with this utility knife. It started out as a bar of 2" ATS-34, and is 7 1/2" OAL. The handle is maple, and although it was not stabilized, after soaking in linseed oil and buffing with white rouge, I'm pleased with how it turned out. I hope to order some new tools, abrasives and other stuff this week and starting on #2, #3, etc............![]()
