You can be proud of that one. I have an old Buck folding hunter that I've been thinking of trying. Any words of wisdom you could share before I start ? Don

I have a very old knife I'm holding that's got one of those stacked leather handles on it, soon as I get all set up I'm going to try what you did...

I like the rock, I think it's some fossil. Is it a hard or a soft rock? Adrian

But it takes stood shine and is durable. I found lots of it in Texas and use it on lots of projects.
