I'm a metal fabricator by trade and polish all my parts. I use mother's polish on just about everything. I learned by a polisher that uses it to cut the fine marks. I use it on my knife handles. Awesome trick. Keep up the good work!

Stunning finish. Easily the prettiest knife handle I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched over 1000 knife videos and this is the best explanation of handle finished I’ve seen yet. It looks like an old-school revolver handle with the shape and the wood. I’ll be trying this method on the bocote wood handle I’m working on currently

I just noticed you only have 1k subscribers currently. Hang in there, your videos are top notch, and you have some great knowledge. I've been building my own knives for a while but even I learned some stuff from watching your techniques. Always cool to watch how others have solved certain problems. Keep up the great work!

Awesome video! Best one of the series for me. Lots of great tips in this one. Your handle finishing process is amazing, thanks for sharing! ❤️

Fantastic video. I’ve just got started into the knife making. I’ve worked with metal and wood before, just not at the level that this craft requires. I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Thank for making these, it going to save a lot of us from frustration.

I am glad that I am not the only one that uses Mag wheel polish on their wood handles

I use CA glue as a finish on gunstock checkering when refinishing or when checkering a new stock and it works great to prevent the normal wear and tear you get on those grip areas. Haven't thought about using it as a finish on a knife. From my experience with those super dense woods like Rosewood or Cocobolo, they're also very oily and any finish that leaves a surface film will fail over time. So i can totally see how a thin CA glue coating on the surface, polished up like pen-makers do, would work great.
