These just arrived from Tommythewho and they are beautiful. They are made from Ipe wood (pronounced "ee-pay") which is a very hard wood from the rain forest in Central America. It has a natural resistance to moisture and is an extremely dense hard wood. These scales are very grippy which surprised me. I don't know if it is the tongue oil or just the natural feel of the wood. There is no stain or lacquer used. They were perfectly shaped with the red liners and came with the stainless screws. I also have the Ka Bar micarta scales but for about the same price, these give my BK2 a dressier look. :thumbup:
