Gregg and I have known them for years and were his witnesses to his brother's wedding. Gregg Salter, my husband and the artist part of the business, makes all the knife handles and boxes. I designed the shape of the blades. We are a very small company and believe in making something the old-fashioned way without use of any industrial machinery. Your set was all made completely by hand.
Only 5% of the tree has this amazing curl. About 85-90% of the world supply of this wood grows on this island. Who you know determines who gets the prettiest wood, for sure, and we are very lucky to know the right person! The black accents on the handles were made from Mozambique ebony, also known as African Blackwood. It is a very hard wood. The trim around the box lid was added as something extra only for Xxxxx's orders as a thank you and something different from our normal boxes. The trim is wenge Wood.
