Up for sale is a sweet little knife fitted with a piece of 5460 year old Bog Oak for the handle. I've been calling it a "Bog Oak Hunter", but several folks have voiced the opinion that it might be more appropriately classified as a fighter than a hunter due to the rear guard. If you buy it, you can call it whatever you want: hunter, fighter, demon slayer or Timothy. :p:D

Thanks for the comments guys. I haven't done any handles with African Blackwood yet (though I do have several blocks in my stash)... but the bog oak definitely appears to have a coarser grain. While the Blackwood appears like it would take a nice shiny finish, in my experience this oak is at its best with slightly matte look.
