It was me. I am sure mine are darker from use and wax/oiling, but not so much that it is easily noticeable.I like them a lot better darker, myself. I can't remember who I was talking to but they seemed surprised by this. What types of wood darken nicest?![]()
oil from the hands naturally. and it becomes the patina on the wood..Most of my handles darken over time. Anyone else notice this?
So just to clear....you're saying that Pesky has grubby hands?I have a knife from Pesky right now where the darkening is definitely due to hand grubbiness.
I don't know what to say!I have a knife from Pesky right now where the darkening is definitely due to hand grubbiness. If you've ever seen how I work with my knives, you'd know that isn't going to be the source. The darkening is very consistent on the entire handle. For example, my DTITK (cocobolo) is now almost black unless you look at it under a nice, bright light, then you see all the reddish and hazel tones. I hadn't considered the UV but since my windows block almost all of it and never hit the knife area directly, I am fairly certain that is not the case.
The knife handle does not lie, Dave.So just to clear....you're saying that Pesky has grubby hands?![]()
