..........Ba co tee this is the phonetic version with the emphasis on the "co". Least thats how I pronounce it. It could be all wrong!

Very important to know! "Wow, that is a beautiful knife, what kind of wood is that?"
"It's ah, well it's spelled . . . "

I got it yesterday - simply gorgeous. I love this wood, the grain is so distinctly defined. I'll try to get some pics posted soon, if my old digital camera cooperates.

In the meantime, here's a picture of my knife from the TrueNorthKnives.com site, where I bought it. That's the actual knife, though the picture makes the wood look a bit too yellow. It's actually a rich orangy color with black grain lines, rather than the yellow.

I've got G2 working on a nice slip sheath for it.
