I have become a big fan of wood knives in þe past couple of years. Your's is beautiful - how did you finish it? I bought one from a local guy who had a table at a fair. It's nicely done, but þe surface is coarse, and I can't tell if I just need to sand it more finely, or saturate it wiþ a mineral oil.
