Wait...which one is katalox. The black knife has the grain structure, but, my Albers katalox is brown. Not even a little bit black. OTOH the brown knife has a completely different grainThese two with a nod to Black Friday.
Katalox “Mexican Ebony” and
African Blackwood. View attachment 2587541
To my eye the grain structures look the same, but mine is a bit darker. I also rub mineral oil into the handles of all my wood handled knives, which does darken them.

Going into Scotland tomorrow if I catch one I will set up a GAW.Catch any Haggis yet John?
Great knife! I generally prefer no shield, but if it has to have one the wrench may be my favorite. That, or there was one with a donkey, can’t remember the model of that one right now. I should have grabbed a wrench back when they were available.
Yes, it was a #76 Jack... My grail knife.it was the Krack-a-Jack knife from a while back with the donkey shield!
Actually the Katalox is on the left and the other is Tasmanian Blackwood. As SteveC pointed out, I had a senior moment and called it African Blackwood. Sorry for the confusion.Me too. I'm assuming the African Blackwood is on the left and the Katalox on the right.![]()
