Funny thing is tho, I have possession of it, the bill is in my name and yet Jeff is calling it his....HHmmmm, might come up missing...yeah that's it, the house was broken into and that's the only thing come up missing....but then again, the bill is in my name and I'd have to pay for it.....wait, never mind Jeff, ignore that...if the bill is in my name you could go home with the knife and I'd still have to pay for it....Hey wait a minute. ?

Jeff, here's my version of it......I can never get a good picture of this dang thing. The figuring in the wood never shows up right.
Mine is a little more "workmanlike" in appearance. I got the Black Palm handle with the dark grain leather sheath.
I remember the day I bought mine I spotted it in the display case and asked to see it. Took about 10 seconds of handling it and I told him "Don't bother putting that back" as I reached for my wallet. LOL
You'll see what I mean when you get your hands on it. It has a heft, balance and feel that fits your hand in a such a simple and uncomplicated way you won't want to put it down. You'll see.
Hard to explain but it just FEELS different than any knife I've handled.

Thanks for posting that Matt. I want my leather to look like that, too. I guess I can work the leather with some linseed oil or something. I just want the knife to be good quality. I plan on using the heck out of it.

And after talking with him it sounds like if you EVER had an issue with the knife itself he'd bend over backwards trying to take make it right.
Does the invoice say what the handle material actually is? Sort of looks like Cocobolo?

Oh I'm OK with it, Matt (sheath). Hunting where I do.....I don't ever wear my knives, anyway. It'll be in my box when I need it (I keep all my tracking lights; batteries; rubber gloves; Knives;etc... in a tool box). I'm probably the only one who'll see it, after this post....lol.
He did mention cocobolo. You're likely right about that.

That's a good looking knife, decent price too for one hand made...Looks like the blade is about 2 1/2 - 3 inches...Ought to make a good skinning, boning knife, its all you need... [align=right]
