~P. The way the brown in the Bullseye matches the piece of leather holding the clip in place is pretty nifty. As if it were planned.The juxtaposition of handle and leather is a favorite sight...
I agree! Jason has said it's simply due to how different pieces of leather absorb the oil/dye, but I do love the effect. It's perhaps most pronounced on the amber sheath for my Stubby Muk; its combination of a slightly lighter body plus the dark clip leather is my favorite look (far right):
The Sylvrfalcen sheath (middle, above) is slightly more uniform/orangey than I prefer, so I oiled its clip leather and will likely darken it more permanently:
'Tho I may wait to see how it looks after some more carry time, and/or against, say, somethin' Blue before doing anything more.

Thanks Phillip. The cadet is with me pretty much every day and the clip makes it so easy to carry, I hate having a knife lay flat in my pocket. I feel it compliments a Fiddleback or Surls nicely.

Man! That one was calling my name! I didn't have the money, so I'm glad it found a good home. The force was very strong with that one and it was such a crazy good price.
Annnnnnnnnd we're back!

I love this knife. What model is it?pertinux said:
It's a Sgian Dubh, my latest in, a (very fortuitous) choice informed by Odaon's direct comparison with a Pocket Kephart:
... I wanted to jump back to the 'smaller' knives to touch on the Sgian before moving on to some of the next models.
It's very similar to the PK in shape and size, but between the two I find the SD more comfortable. It seems to sit in my hand more naturally than the PK and it's more comfortable in a variety of different grips. I still don't think it's quite what I'm looking for, but I think I would probably buy a Sgian Dubh before a PK based on how they feel in my hands. There's another PK, among other things, on the way according to Jerry so I'll get to compare with a second PK to make my final decision.
With a Patch and Esquire, for relative scale:
I am fascinated by its asymmetry and bevels.
A fantastic small knife.
(Teh Internets tell me that Sgian Dubh is pronounced "Skeen-doo" or "skee-an-doo." 1) I now want to hear the Georgia boys pronounce the pattern name; 2) I call mine a Ski-doo.
