Trance with Ipe scale

[potterma]

Ipe, also called Brazilian Walnut is one of the hardest woods in the world, with a Janka hardness of 3680 (lignum vitae is 4500, oak is 1280). Very tight grained wood. Works up quite nicely and should be pretty durable

Thanks for looking.

That looks great. I recently acquired a bunch of ipe and have used it on a couple knives already. The ipe I got is a gorgeous red with some curl to it. Might have to put some on a folder.

Has red G-10 been a thought to a handle scale? I'd skor one.

I suppose you could use red, but isn't it usually meant for trainers or as a safety colour (like the Rescom)?
