Snakewood!
I think I'm going to have to get a GEC knife handled in Snakewood.
Do you like it?
"Snakewood is an incredibly beautiful wood which originates mostly in Suriname, South America. The specific gravity is around 1.2, making it one of the worlds hardest woods. The part sold as snakewood is really the heartwood of the larger tree. This wood is usually felled with axes and carried on the backs of hard working natives over streams and through snake infested jungle areas. Each tree felled is monitored, and the government has developed a strict permit process to control harvesting."

Do I like it? What's there not to like? It is quite handsome. The background is interesting, but it also beckons the question "when are you going to the jungles of South America to procure some snakewood for IKC members?"

Craig,
LOL, If the backyard is too far away the jungles may be out of the question. We could have an iKC field trip maybe?

You might find some SNAKES in my backyard, but no snakeWOOD! And plenty of spiders. I hate spiders!
