A beautiful mix of tan and brown colours this increasingly rare wood makes for a gorgeous handle. This is the only wood that we do not get stabilized prior to using it. This stuff is so dense that stabilization seems to make virtually no change to the wood.

Seen here with a mix of 416SS & Mosaic pins to finish it off.

You will be seeing more of this wood on my knives as I am very impressed with it's overall finish and toughness.
