Default Wade & Butcher with an unknown wood
This wood is very special. Unfortunately i dont know, what it is. If some one can help me with this information, it would be great.
The wood has an wonderfull grain but isnīt very hard. Some parts really soft, others a little bit harder. It is very light and break very easy. So I must use first time a brass liner. Several coats of CA protect the wood against water and give them additional stability. The blade is a Wade & Butcher 6/8 hollow ground. The spacer is from brass and vulcanfibre.

Take it with a grain of salt!

No, its not Amboynia. I have her some nice pieces of amboynia. Its much more harder and heavier, than this wood.

One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.
