That is a real nice piece of desert ironwood for that Damascus, looks great!
I was working with some last week and decided to Google it because I have worked with wood that is harder. I was real surprised to find out that it is a member of the pea family. Here is the link I used, easy to remeber, it was first on the list.

Because it is grown in the washes, it could be a member of the "downstream pee...er, pea
" family...here is a non factory knife we own...but it has nice Ironwood...
Nice work M/M...
