Ahrends ebony "tactical" grips?

BB, African Blackwood has been described to me as a very dense and heavy wood, and fairly rare, hence the prices for the grips made of the stuff. If you hold the ebony and the blackwood grips side by side in your hand, you can note the weight difference. Blackwood polishes up to a gloss, I suppose due to it's density (look at the uncut diamonds around the grips screw holes). Neither does it appear to be brittle. Hope this helps.
