Burnt Mesquite. He offered me a few options, but liked that Mesquite is native to New Mexico prefecture.

Looks great. I'll join you on that train
reread this and laughed
I tried axe wax but it didn’t seem much different than typical board butter (mineral oil + beeswax). It darkened the 2 handles I tried it on and didn’t hold up to washing, so I wasn’t a huge fan.
If you want something that builds a light coat try Tru Oil. It seems to be a thinned blend of oil-based resins. 2-3 coats gives a very light satin sheen and the protection lasts for a while. I stopped after 2-3 coats as I wanted a natural look but you could do more coats if you wanted a more finished/top-coated look.
NKD! Bday knife 3 of 6. Yoshikazu Tanaka Blue 1 Damascus 240mm Gyuto with Amboyna Burl with Blonde Horn Ferrule, Black and Gold Trustone with Silver rings. I just received the blade today and since im on work leave and I have nothing else to do. Installed new custom handle on it made by @Letshandlethis
That’s a beauty! Where did you get the knife? Choil looks amazing.
I hear ya, I get the same feeling. He's one of the few makers that I have multiple knives from, that's how much I like Travis' work. Don't sleep on Lucid, folks!
I got the blade from tokushu knife. This blade really gets thin behind the edge.
Thank you!
Ordered. Lol.
I kept trying to trade for a Lucid, but I wasn't dangling the right carrot, so I just got one not too long ago. It is a big and beautiful cutter. I just got a shi.han and they are within 4 g of each other. Good 1-2 punch in the WH arena. The Lucid is a wrought clad spicy white, like that Hyde I got from you. It's a good combination. I wish I liked nakiris more.
I just got mine in too, 52100. It is a big beefy boi, 290g.

Awesome! I just purchased up the same Tanaka from them last week but I don't have it in hands yet. I read a lot about this blade from other places and was curious to see how it compares since it looks this is one of the rare few with the sharpener listed!
Yea they didn’t want to disclose the sharpener at first when they first started selling this knife. Then now they actually inputted on their page who the sharpener is.
I think it’s the same sharpener as the full convex Migoto? Might be my misrecollection

Looks fantastic all around. Great purchase.
My favourite thing about Troopah is he uses absolutely top tier wood for his handles. Stuff is always gorgeous.
Finally a new telephone with a working camera turned up...
