The "burn" spot on the handle were actually natural figure. There was a knot there. It's was dark before I ever put a belt to it. I actually bought it because of the figure that was in it. Most orange Osage is straight grain. This piece looked like it was from a branch perhaps. The outside edge had bark on it
The larger darkened area kinda broke when I put a pin through it. I epoxied it in and you can't tell. Since this knife was for me I didn't have issue with doing it that way
Good sound advice though thank you
