Greetings All!

Congratulations on your excellent knife and your sale, Stu!
You should be very proud.... I know it's new owner will be thrilled with it for very many years to come.

Re: Snakewood itself, it comes form the tree Piratinera Guianensis which can be found in Suriname, South America.

Cheers,
Paul
