I like the look of the knife makers hands after working with the coco bolo!

All the natives in Baja call it an ironwood but it is truly an acacia....not cocobolo. I pick it up in the arroyos after it has been dead for tens if not hundreds of years. You may not touch it if still living. The bugs eat all the sapwood but can't touch the heartwood. We also use it for firewood and BBQ fuel. A 3" diameter log will burn for 2-4 hours. Amazing stuff.
