I thought about it once more.
You anyway don't achieve a Finnish finish even if you polish it the Polish way.

A real Finnish finish can be done only in Finland.

Nice work on the knife, I am not quite sure what it is for though. Looks a bit small for a whacker and a bit robust for finer work. If sharp enough it can be used for something.

It's a neck knife, cutting edge is 86mm. I use neck knife in the forest's kitchen, for cutting sticks and other light jobs.
The knife's blade is thin and is really very sharp.

That's the blade length of the Opinel No8 Carbone, the flagship model of the Opinel range. Very practical for most tasks in real outdoor life. One could even say it's long enough for everything. Especially if you live in endless pine woods.

The wooden handle task is in progress..

I will show the knife next week. I'll take one photo of the knife I hold in my hand.
It will reflect its dimensions well.

We expect an extraordinary piece of masurian birch root.
Prussian wood is the best anyway.

OK, wooden handle (amazaque wood) is ready.
