Hello,
I've been a lurker more than a poster on this forum but I find it really informative and I'm hoping people might have some information on an Enzo Trapper I recently bought.
It's a terrific knife, stainless steel, sharp, strong and produces great sparks with a firesteel. The only thing I'm wondering about is the finish on the curly birch scales. They look quite pale and glossy, like they have been coated in a weatherproof sealant. I would prefer a matt finish that I could treat with linseed oil and bring out a light golden colour that I have seen on other curly birch handled knives.
Does anyone know what the finish on the scales might be? How to remove it? And if it is a good idea or should I leave it alone?
Thanks in advance.
