Svord Peasant knife wood?

[CoffeeCat2112]

This may have already been covered, if so, I apologize for missing it. Do we know what kind of wood is used on the Svord peasant knives?

I have no facts behind this, but I am going off of grain, and scent, Spanish Cedar is my best guess, at least that is what mine looks and smells like.

Thanks Rinos, I think you are correct, I thought the grain originally looked like mahogany but the cedar scent threw me off, I just looked up sapele mahogany and it has a cedar like scent.

Wenge wood as listed on Knifecenter's site.

Wenge is a dark wood, like ebony, seems they are using on the new mini-Svord

I think Bwperdue is asking about the original model like this one

 

[CoffeeCat2112]

Oh, yeah - I forgot about the little ones. I was asking about the originals, yes.

Ah, my mistake. I now see the original is listed as having "brown wood" handles. Whatever it is the handles look nice in the pic above.
