I'm obsessed with this stuff! I don't know what it is about this wood, but when it rests up against lime, yellow or even white, it really POPS! This stuff is amazing in hand as well. Very smooth and warm you can tell it's very dense stuff.

Let's see your blackwood!

BUT DAMN that lime looks awesome!
 
Those are fantastic looking pieces! I love how the lime green helps to draw your eyes to the knife helping you find it if you happen to set it down.
 
Hey fellas! It's been a bit since I've posted regularly. I've been lurking when I get time, but figured I should contribute more. So..... Everyone loves pics as do I. Here is some of that gorgeous Blackwood! I'm kinda partial to the darker woods matched up with blue liners, but that green is NICE too.

Thanks. I really like the thicker G10 pin stripes like your Hiking Buddy has. Really makes the colors pop.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've had some lime stripes that were really thin and up against darker colors, they get a little toned down. They're still nice though.

That Karda is sick bro. The black wood looks great up against blue!
 
Ah Josiah, you are right. There's something about African Blackwood. The feel to it is unique of the woods that I have. My favorite.

A quick shot of some Tuxedos. I'll have to get some more when I can get outside in some sun so you can really see the figure in these, especially the Patch.



And one for fun.

 
Damn Josiah and Nathan this thread is just enough to make me want a reproduction of my Woodsman with thicker pin stripes :) The blackwood looks awesome with all of the colors I see here, but man I think I like it best with the blackwood tuxedo with a twist configuration :)
 
Those are some great pics Duder! The lime pinstripe does really pop.

I love all the knives in this thread. Very nice. The blue pinstripes might be my favorite. Both the edks are stunning. That monarch is exceptional too!
