Thanks JJ..........

Thanks JJ, make sure I don't get a big head being featured..... ha! ha!

Thanks, while I don't consider myself a "true" collector I have somehow amassed a small, well maybe medium collection of knives. 

Thanks a lot John! 

Thank you so much J.J. Glad to be here.

Hey J.J.

Too bad you have to drive to the show. I usually average 10 to12 shows a yr. All are in Tulsa, Ok. We don't have knife shows around here. We have gun and knife shows with the opportunity to get candy, jerky, jellies, and even home siding. LOL. Oh well, we go and do our thing.. #121 coming up this weekend.

Hey J.J. I know what you mean about the shows.. When I get bored, I buy knives. Blah. Needless to say I can get quite bored. LOL. Oh well, a show is coming up this next weekend so Hopefully I'll sell and not buy.

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation JJ. 

The movement is so minor, but noticeable.

It's probably less that 1/16" and more like 1/32"

Just frustrating, because otherwise this big old knife is just perfect!'Again, thanks for your time, and all the best.

Hey JJ, will those oils actually swell the wood some?

I watched a youtube video that showed those type oils are good for conditioning and cleaning, but did nothing to swell the wood. What do you think? In your experience, does the wood swell at all with a good soaking in any of your suggestions>

Thanks a bunch for your time JJ.

Thanks JJ!

Howdy ! Thanks for the welcoming!!2 little girls here also . I love buying and resaling knives!!! 

Thank you. Nice knife.
