I have never had lacewood in hand, but I have multiple examples of leopardwood in the shop and have used it a few times over the years as well. One thing I always noticed with my leopardwood examples was the larger lighter colored spots, which I don't see in your example. Sometimes the grain was a little tighter, but even on those the spots always presented a little larger than in your knife's handle. That and I have heard that leopardwood and lacewood are often mistaken for each other is the only reason I asked. Yours must be tighter grained leopardwood than examples I have had my hands on. In any case the knife is beautiful!
