Flamberg's lead case, made of Karin burl wood. I purchased this but haven't had the opportunity to use it, so I'm offering it for sale, hoping it will go to someone who will. The metal ends are made of sturdy stainless steel. With a diameter of about 8mm, it's very compact, yet allows you to appreciate the beautiful burl grain. Being Karin wood, it will also age nicely over time. I'm sorry, but I'm not considering lowering the price. Thank you for your understanding.
