Ed - The one on the far right has macassar ebony scales, cut from a large block that I have. It is one of a pair, the first two kepharts that Ray made. I showed him the original colclesser ad, and told him I wanted two. The other one has ironwood scales, I sent it to my brother. The finger guard area is supported.

Looks like a knife to me. Looks pretty traditional too. But doesn't look indigenous to north Louisiana (the wood or the knife). And it is a great work by the maker. Could you share who built it (the last one)?

Ed

its a Parang Lading, by AKO, an Indonesian knifemaker, the blades is a handforge damascus, i thing a gentleman by the nickname Mohd once post Ako's work too here on BF, not sure where tough.
here is another indonesian tradisional blade from him, great woods!

@2dead: that Queen is amazing!!

LOL.

Out of 300+ knives in the Accumulation, at least fifty have wood handles. Can't post them all...

But here is a custom set of three from Anza:

A couple of Silver Knights, my favorite line from Gerber

And a Kissing Krane that I recently scanned for another topic

Two more pictures that I feel strongly about.

This first one, the knife is nothing special, just a kit my brother made. But the oak wood was salvaged from a barn built by my grandfather.

And here are two AG Russell / Boker swing guards with unusual wood. The first one is amboynia burl and the second is bog oak.

(The bog oak has a much deeper color in real life. I really need to get a photo table set up.)

@Dan, please show us when that Barlow got darker eh? I bet that would turn out very pretty .

Here you go, a before and after picture. I didn't realize how much darker it was until looking at the pics next to each other. The blades are a little darker too.
