I found this pic of one of my dad's marble sculptures on line. This is the kind of stuff he is best known for.

Outstanding!
The handle is ironwood? The grain seems different, somehow. Do you get a nice wootz pattern on the blade?

The handle is Lignum Vitae. The wootz pattern looks O.K.

That knife is great. How do you cut in those lines around the integral bolster? Are they forged in then cleaned up with a file? Or put in some other way? Do I ask too many questions? Just trying to learn all I can.
