Well ZK-II met an early death as I got it too hot during the quench and cracked the blade. thats what I get for rushing. back in the forge for round 2.
Ipe is some of the toughist wood I've used. looks great when finished. good looking knife. Great idea to always give back to those who give and don't expect anything in return.
