Hi Mark. The blade and the craftsmanship that went into it are a 5. The metal work is beautiful. Thank you.
The wooden handle, especially on one side, is rough and appears to me as if it is going to splinter. I will send a photo to Mark@blackmambaknives.com so you can see what I see.
If the handle is typical/normal, how should my son and I smooth it out without ruining the finish and/or color? Please let us know.
Thank you for your service especially the time you spent in Vietnam.
