Are there different types of "bloodwood" and how to identify? I have one custom knife that was made with bloodwood. The wood has a nice-ish red color, but there isn't much grain and the surface is dull.

Amazon bloodwood is probably the one most often encountered. It is a hard, dense wood that works well for knife handles. More info about the wood itself here:
