just look around on the web, you know, google, unluckyhunter, and you will find lots of places to get it.

Call me or email when you have some and I will talk you through the basics..its quite a bit different than most woods we use for knife handles...actually EASIER to use in many respects, but there are some little peculiarities and shortcuts that will help your finished product.

its kind of like a mattress, ULH,if you divide it up by the number of days you use it, the difference is almost negligible. 10 bucks for something else, twenty bucks for Ironwood.

Is it really TOO expensive? Make one great knife, instead of two?
