This is one of my Little Bear designs. The wood came from the customer and originated in the Queen Charlotte Islands, BC, Canada. I had it stabilized by WSSI, after stabilizing this I think is the hardest wood I have ever worked with. My customer hasn't gotten back to me to confirm what this wood is but I think he said it was Yew wood. Whatever it is the stuff is really nice!

An exceptionally beautiful knife with a very clean look! The wood is fantastic.

That's a fine looking little knife. Your customer is going to be super happy with it.
 
Sean, that is a great looking knife! Your customer will be thrilled with it.
 
Thanks everyone. I wish I had a whole lot more of that wood. I could see moving away from Ironwood in favour of this wood.

VERY nice Sean. The wood does look great. Sort of similar to ironwood in color. I have some Yews that are bushes. I can't imagine that wood coming from those?

Thanks guys. You're right it would make a good pocket carry. I'll have to think of a sheath option for this design some time.
