wow awesome knife to cut i think it will be very popular in the world among the criminals while doing any crime with this knife

lol, OK not sure what to say about that one...I think maybe better suited for hunting and kitchen duties. To try and use a knife to commit crime especially here in Oklahoma would put criminal at a disadvantage....HAVE YOU NOT LOOKED AT ALL THE GUN POSTING.....LOL.

Psst - two posts, so probably a troll. As for your knives, very nice - I like the skinner, with that serpentine back strap or whatever it's called.

Does the Osage continue to darken with age? I've made a couple of bows and several bowls out it, I've tried everything to keep them yellow but can't.

The oldest knife out there with Osage is 1 year old and still yellow, I'm sure it will age as all wood does but a good wood oil will help, so an truthfully answer is I'm not sure.
