In the first picture . . .Which one is the Hawaiian Mango wood, the light colored wood? What's that black and brown wood under the lead wood? I really have no idea when it comes to these exotic (to me) handles.
Looks like you've been busy EricAloha! Great pics everyone!!
Got a few progress pics here. The first one was from early last week as I'd just finished up the hammering and the next two are from yesterday post-shaping, grinding and hafting. All that's left is buffing, washing, and edging. Should have them up on the site by the beginning of next week if all goes well. I'm doing a little juggling with family get togethers and a flood in my folks' basement this week so things are a little out of sorts.

Great scan, Charlie!!The WIP looks fantastic Eric.
This one took a few weeks to get over the pond but I've been extremely happy with it. I've also started experimenting taking knife 'photos' using a scanner, inspired bywaynorth

I believe the red one is g10.Is that a red micarta in the middle of the first picture? If so I’m going to have to try super hard on this release
