The wood sounds like and looks like BU-BING-GA and is one of the five true rosewoods in the world and should develope a nice patina with use. The hardness is important if you have an interest in knives and want to use them. Rockwell hardness is reported on the C scale when dealing with knife blades. Very roughly Rockwell hardness in the low fifties is the minimum for a knife blade that can be sharpened but will blunt fairly quickly, 58 - 62 will remain sharp after a lot of use.
First of all, you might want to put the paper in front of you so that you don't have to turn around and so all the time.
Second, as far as i know i've never seen anyone here use a sheath for one of those knives and i'm a Swede.
The leftie opening is quite easily fixed, there's something called kwik thumb stud or similar. That or learning to pinch the blade and kinda "drop" the handle, letting the handle pivot as you hold onto the blade.
His statements may go against the grain of what many other youtubers may have told you, but I can assure you that he is more knowledgeable than they are. He will prove his points time and time again on camera. He's worth watching, for sure.
Oh, you're in NZ? You should check out knivesandstuff on here if you haven't already. He's a knifemaker in NZ, very good and extremely knowledgeable. You'd do well to learn everything you can from him. He has something like 700 videos already, all of which are extremely informative. His knives are hand ground and are literally some of the best designs out there.
Great knife, I need it. ;-)
