East meets West
I agree with Wilf that the construction and finish of this knife is excellent. I chose the Palo Santo as I liked the grain and colour but I would have been well satisfied if only olive wood had been available. It certainly has some unusual features, the most noticeable being the steep slope of the crossguard and the deep finger recess in the ricasso. I'm not too bothered about the placing of the retaining strap although I can appreciate Wilf's point. If mine ever does come to grief I can always make a new sheath. And as for speed of service from Heinnie Haynes - outstanding as usual.
