Thank you very much, Claude !!!!
 
That ironwood is to die for, for sure. I really like how the swirls in it and the damast pattern sort of reflect each other. Nice overall shape to the knife. And this may be a minor point to some, but I really like his maker's mark too. Too often a maker's mark is too intrusive on the knife either in size or just in bad logo/type design; this one is nicely simple yet with a touch of personality.
