From what I've been able to read, this has been a great thread so far guys, thanks for sharing! :thumbup:
A few anecdotal musings, when Samael first showed me his 'killer' stag handle a while back, I wanted to make sure he was getting the lined lanyard hole put in...I swear, he could be heard spitting out a obscene response from 1200+ miles away!
Re. great Desert Ironwood; K&G finishing supplies owner Ken McFall asked me at the OKCA Show last year (OK, it was at the OKCA, Valley River Inn's after-dinner fireplace lounge about) what I thought about RMK's current DIW offering?
'Great' sez I, 'All good stuff'..."Good" sez he, "I supply it". (GTR later confirmed this) So there, now ya know, if ya need killer DIW, talk w/Ken. BTW, it comes from Mehico, and is getting very/very hard to get with the new export restrictions they (MX) put in place last year...

Here are some pics of my RMKs with DIW handles. I love the DIWs. Sorry, the pics do not do them justice.

You do well with your option chices Ken, nice knife!
At knife shows, I usually end up hanging out with Ken McFall and friends of K&G (Knife and Gun) Finishing Supplies - Ken supplies RMK with (at least some of) their Desert Ironwood (DIW) handle material...
From what I've been told every piece is different (as the photos herein show); that DIW has become extremely difficult to export from Mexico (where most of it grows), and that like quality Sambar stag, may become scarce in the near future...
Nice looking knife, good on ya bud!
