Here's TRUAX, ENGLAND in ebony. Most I've seen are metal or composite. Love the Jack Knife Ben. Do you know who made it? J.O'.

Very cool grain! Love that wavy look...it has a 3-D appearance like mountain ridges on a topographical map

Had not noticed the 3-D topographical map similarity. Now I see it. Big time. I see a face in the first Pic too.

Beautiful knives!

This Shapleigh Diamond Edge is one of my favorite knives. Rosewood with a Mother of Pearl inlay. The blade still has the etch, and snaps like a gator.

Harold, Thanks. I always assumed it was a salesman's sample, but don't know how to confirm it.

Mike, I think it is. Surprised Roger hasn’t chimed in. Harold

That is one beautiful knife. Obviously built by a skilled craftsman/artisan.
