It is a hardwood from Central America. I don't know from what tree genus.

Trying to get one of Eris's gorgeous custom knives is as hard as trying to get a GEC on the drop...and nobody seems to be flipping any Albers knives...at least none that I have found. Really wanted that Curly Mango Wood...but it was gone before I even finished reading the email notification of the drop.

Same here. By the time Eric's email gets to my computer, all the knives have been sold.
I think to succeed you have to get your emails on a 'smart phone' as these come through without the delay that happens with a computer. Then you need to have the fastest internet connection and be geographically close to the server that is transmitting the messages because even 1/1000 of a second makes a difference.
Unfortunately only those who are very 'tech savy' and living close to urban centers have a chance to score one of Eric's fine knives. Older guys who still use a computer and live rurally will never get one

Signed up and subscribed to the newsletter. Would love to get one of the Curly African Leadwood handled knifes, and the Amber Jigged Bone looks awesome also. All look quality builds.

They were gone time I got the email. If I never get another one I'm happy with the one I have.

Same here. But I’ll never get one - out here in the sticks my WI-FI is so slow I wouldn’t have a chance even if I was looking when the email arrived.

I got signed up too and subscribed to the newsletter. The chances of actually getting one is pretty remote, but I am very pleased Eric is having so much success!
I do have a knife Eric made under the Red Trout brand.
I think I like it as much or more than my Canal Streets!

I saw the email for the recent offerings about a half hour after it was sent. Guess I was about 29:45 minutes late.

Yes David, you and i both being aficionado's of the Lambsfoot, one of these would have been a fine addition to our stable. I particularly liked the photos that Eric posted of the Australian hardwood. Have a good Easter my friend.
