    Erik Redd Lizabeth, baby, I'm comin' to join ya.

    Very nice. The African Blackwood is beautiful, and the red acrylic wedge is a great accent to it.

    That's a manly beauty! The finger notches on the scales are a nice functional touch. I've in my queue a very similar 7/8th W&B that I'm still debating upon the scales. I like the heftiness of those scales, Glen! :happy088:
    Af blackwood is a really dense and heavy rosewood that excels at dulling blade edges (tools for wood cutting).

    The notches give it kind of a pocket knife vibe. I like that, VERY manly. :)
