I cant get enough of it lol but im sure you all had the bug ,when you all first started. I have had alot of help in here and ill have to say this knife is 2 twice as good as the last its actually really good and im fussy.ASIAN IRON WOOD stabilized it took karls advice and did what he said i emailed him told him the wood was stabilized he said buff and i did with the white poilish i got from rob wow what a deal on the polish i will be buying more. the Blade is a hunter skinner made of 440c . I sharpened it slightly more on the buffer and will shave the hair off both my legs ssssshhhhhhhhhh dont tell no one lmao my arms have no hair left either.I also gace the stainless bolter a final buff and she is sweet. I have another being glued and will be done it tommorrow brazilian King wood real pretty stuff too has a pink hue in the light and dark brown wood grain. hope ya all like this one. KELLYW

ALL THE STAGES FROM JUST AFTER I STARTED TO SAND
 
That knife looks great. And the handle is amazing. So far I have only used my home made micarta handles in a few different colors but... that wood of yours looks great! Can I get that kind of stuff on the internet and shipped to Spain?

P J i cant really anser the question but just like any type of wood there are usually a bunch of varieties and sub varieties that fall into the iron wood family this stuff come from asia and thats what they called it. Sanding ths stuff is seriously the hardest wood ive ever sanded. I spent 4 hours or more hand sanding from 180 to 220 to 320 to 600 then i dusted it with 1500 and then polishied on the buffer. thanks kellyw
