Jeff,
Thanks for your interest!
I don't have a walnut handle shown on the site. The only materials on the site photos for the chef's blades are wenge, but one is plain sawn and the other quartersawn. I'm out of the plain sawn and have no forseeable supply for the future; all wenge handles will be quartersawn in the future.
I've added some more to the original posting. I'm pretty new to this whole forum thing.
Daniel
