America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

beautiful wood on that one Art. I hadn't heard of Sheoak either but it looks good on that knife.

That is a beautiful knife and sheath. You really positioned the wood lines to compliment the shape of the knife. Never heard of sheoak either.

She-oak ( sheoak) Color range is golden orange to red-orange to nearly burgundy. Not as heavy and hard as oak (the Englsh settlers declared it weaker than English oak but similar so "She-oak"). Used in furniture and flooring (and in the past, beer barrels). Sheoak grows primarily in a small area on the south coast of Southwest Western Australia. Trees with a "lace" appearance are very rare- about 1 in 100 trees. Bird's eye lace is extremely rare- less than 25 small pieces came to the US in the last three years.
1 Durability refers to a wood's resistance to rotting in wet environments.
