Wow, this thing is beautiful. It has red pickbone scales, brass bolsters, no rivets, no fingergrooves, and BG42 for the blade steel. It is razor-freakin' sharp 
The only flaw is a tiny casting blemish on one bolster that was just barely too deep to be polished out. I'd send it back, but this is a using knife, so it's not worth the hassle.
It's very tight, no blade play whatsoever. When it locks up, it sounds like a bank vault closing. You can hear it from across the room. I brought it to work today to show some coworkers. So far, no shrieks of fear, just oohs and ahs.
As soon as I find a way to take a picture, I'll post a link.
Edit: Here's a pic. It's not a good one. I took it with a webcam under office lighting. Lots of glare, etc.
