Attention knife makers

[klooney]

Hey guys, I got my hands on some ipe, that I think would make some really good looking handles... Anybody interested?

[Bama]

Maybe what is ipe?

[klooney]

Brazilian walnut is what I read on the interwebs

It's a really dense and oily wood. People use it for decking because it lasts forever, and it's pretty. I use it for making bamboo backed bows. It has great compression strength.

[Bjankowski]

It would be great on kitchen knives.

Not wanting anything for this guys.... Just free material for a tbh brother

My picture doesn't do justice it's beautiful!

That looks like quite a bit more than I would use, but I'd take a piece of it anyway.
