Roy its rosewood burl. Bought nice jag of it. Want it on your in progress.
Knife is sold
It's pretty but I'll stay with the micarta I sent.
I would never argue that micarta isn't more functional but by my way of thinking, "life is too short to hunt with an ugly knife."
I agree, but this knife will be used for cleaning trout mostly and will get plenty wet, so I just don't want a "looker" for that. This one will be my "Echols Legend Knife" ....
No doubt the micarta will perform better BUT the burl Rick is using is damn nice. BTW, the fillet Rick built me has micarta handle, its just that I couldn't help commenting after seeing that burl.
