Wooden Wednesday - Traditionals only please

Belated thanks for your kind words, Steve. :)
I was staring again today at the French knife you posted last week. Such attractive wood (olive wood is my guess) and an unusual blade shape that reminds me of a Taramundi I got in Sevilla, Spain:

The only timber-clad knife I'm carrying this week is Valley Jack, my 2019 desert ironwood Guardians Lambsfoot lit up by late afternoon sun last fall:

Thank you, Gary, yes it is olive wood..... I've developed a fascination for it and it even has a light, refreshing scent to it. Many French knives seem to have the almost blunted, non threatening look to it, yes, similar to your Taramundi. Interesting to me because a lot of Spanish knives are very aggressive in appearance. I wish I could say that mine were obtained near their city of origin, but it was a few clicks of some buttons and lots of hard work by delivery people!

Always good to see a Guardians Lambfoot, and of course, striking grain pattern!

I enjoyed your comments, Steve. :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:
My daughter lived in Spain for several years and I went to visit her once for almost 3 weeks. She took me around to several Spanish cities, and I was able to find knives as souvenirs in each one. Once in a lifetime trip for me, I think, and I cherish the knives I purchased on that trip! And all but one happen to be wood, so I'll post them here, a day late:

Based on Buck's illustrations on their website, I never liked palm, but every time I see a pic of an actual knife posted...🤩

I know what you mean, Mike. The renderings of Black Palm on the Buck configurator are awful, and don't even begin to give a true sense of what this wood really looks like.
