Letter wood ( lettre mouchetée #speckled letter) is another name for the Amourette because it was used in printing works to make block letters, then replaced by lead.One other thing..... Renaud Aubry calls his snakewood (amourette) letterwood..... jeez, this stuff gets confusing!
Your Lo8 is curious in that it has the color and some lines of bois de serpent yet it also shows the eyes, typical of amourette but much smaller than usual. Maybe it comes from another part of the wood/world. I have never seen one so clear. This gives the knife a supplementary uniqueness.
Even more confusing, on the Peceval site in English, both bois de serpent and amourette are translated snakewood...
