Capt.

Many thanks for posting the pics for me. Man am I computer dumb, but I am stubborn and will get picture posting down eventually.

The top wood is Ebony, a part of a piece Greg Gutcher and I bought at the Blade Show in 2005. I have no idea why mine is so much different than Ed Thompson's Ebony. I will contact Greg and see if he can shed more light as to why my knife is so different from Ed's.

The bottom knife is Ironwood. I bought the knife from Nordic Knives in 2003. I did not order the knife, just bought it off the website, if I recall.
