It took a couple days to get it in but here's a pic for you.
I've never liked the acrylics they were just to much like candy. When I saw the tortoise shell on this particular pattern an order went in ASAP.
Glad I did it's going to be my user.

Absolutely! I assume you mean from the pic with all 3 knives? It started life as an autumn gold jigged bone NF #86. I deleted the coping blade and rear bolsters. Recoverd it in brown canvas micarta and pinned badge shield. In short, it's my perfect version of the OFJ #86.

Thank you very much! I did a Tidioute version for a client almost exactly the same except it had a better quality micarta that I am jealous of and I have another in the works for another client. His will have the top shelf brown canvas as well.
Sorry to hear this Steve, I didn't know/converse with Dean but enjoyed his presence here, he will be missed. Prayers for he and his family.Very sad to say that we lost Dean to cancer on Jan 13th

That seems akin to flipping it for a large profit, since the Damascus are/were so much more expensive.
I'm not sure how I missed this. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. He'll be missed.Very sad to say that we lost Dean to cancer on Jan 13th

My 86 roundup, one needs a bit of surgery, and I would like to add a single blade modded oil sucker to the bunch, but for a run I had no interest in these 86’s have cost me a lot of scratch and haven't left my pocket yet. The 86 is a hefty gem!
That's a solid group there. I sent my damascus Lone Star in for warranty work. Had a bad off center blade and excessive blade play. I have no doubt it'll come back perfect.My 86 roundup, one needs a bit of surgery, and I would like to add a single blade modded oil sucker to the bunch, but for a run I had no interest in these 86’s have cost me a lot of scratch and haven't left my pocket yet.

Both mine had blade play, seems like it’s maybe something with the etching of the Damascus.
Possibly? Mine was way off center to the pile side too. Not quite rubbing but real close. The play wasn't crazy really though.
The play in mine wasn’t terrible either and I took it out of both. The pine wood one is off center looking in on direction but nearly centered in the other, I think I was able to get it in a picture, but it’s the oddest thing. Tell you what though if you have to have problems these are the ones to have.
