I will keep this page up to date on the various woods I have on hand. The standard woods offered in the base price of all knives are plain grained accacia or eucalyptus with all others offered as upgrades.

There is grade 1, grade 2 and exhibition grade offered as options for all knives with the micarta options priced as grade1

Grade 1 blocks are a US$10 to $20 upgrade and will be any of the blocks that are on hand that have some grain and colour.

NZ native woods of rimu, matai,  rata, or swamp kauri.

NZ grown macrocarpa, eucalyptus, walnut and oak.

The canvas micarta in olive drab or natural for a grippy finish or the paper micarta to give a hard smooth finish.

Grade two blocks are US$25 - $35  and any of the blocks mentioned in the grade 1 section but with more nice grain and colour. There is also some exotics that are generally available, with Ebony and Buffalo horn being in this grade even though they show very little variation in grain and colour.
