They are both cool,
I really liike how the top one came together.
Excellent balance of material choices and design.
What the heck is Erica burl? Never heard of it? I can'y say I like the ivory, But that's just me not liking that these fine animals will be extinct soon just for there teeth. The spacer color looks fine and that's a nice Hamon on the blade.
