Cholla cactus skeleton is full of open cells, so when it is stabilised with turquoise resin the blue fills every hollow and no two handles come out alike. This is the most southwestern knife in the run and the hardest to photograph honestly, because the pattern shifts as you turn it.
Rasp steel blade, four inches, hardened to 58 to 60 HRC. Eight inches overall with a handmade pancake sheath.
