Sjt657 191 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 For the knife makers really but if you put the handle on first then sand it attached to the blank can you add true oil straight on or do you have to be care full of the metal ? I mean can it go on the metal does it affect it or do you have to paint it on with care ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
