Waboom wood looks like a nice wood for knife cover's.Just asked Willem ( k'roo ) to make a lambfoot using waboom wood. It's native to Africa.
This is a sample.
I was going to use kudu bone, but Willem said it may have to go through US wildlife and fisheries for inspection. That would delay it 2 weeks and cost $50.View attachment 2113811

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your recent order!
I am writing to you because as your knife was preparing to ship and passing final quality control, an imperfection was found on the top of the wooden handle that is unsatisfactory. For this reason, we are unable to ship this exact knife to you and we are sincerely sorry for any inconvenience!
We already checked and we do not have another snakewood handle in this model to substitute it with. Would you perhaps like to choose a different knife from the 5 Coqs collection or would you prefer that we cancel and refund the order?
We appreciate your kind understanding and we will await your further instruction, thank you!
5 Coqs (Yssingeaux) Pocket Knife - Snakewood aka Amourette (Brosimum guianense) 14C28N Fontenille Pataud
Talked myself out of this pattern from time to time for a couple of years or so. Should be here by Monday
