This one just came in the mail. I know that green-colored wood handles aren't terribly popular among FF collectors and users. I wasn't sure of it myself, but like my recently purchased KE Bushie, I decided to take a gamble and clicked "add to cart" because it met the other criteria I was looking for: 3/32" Scanduddy. I'm really glad I took the plunge. The way the layers and fibers of the wood splay out and have taken on the dye very much resemble the details of a curled up leaf on a big, mature maple, where you can see all the veins and shadows. The spalting on this one is also pretty spectacular and has already started to patina, which means it must have been sitting on the shelf for a while? Anyway...

I'll be rocking my Desert Ironwood Hiking Buddy in Scandi today. After some touch up on the new Flex Strops 'Tyrant Strop' set, this thing is a razor blade!
Although, it will look like this most of the day as I get some fresh blades ready to post...
