The lines in the middle, looks like a water stain or missing finish. I do woodworking so was really excited for this but that also makes it very noticeable to me
That's most likely where the layer of wood was overlapped. Think plywood but with exotic wood and epoxy resin. I'm a woodworker as well and not a fan of Dymondwood, not because it's a bad product but it's been beaten to death on gas station knives. Someone at Knife Center likes it though and I'm digging the Rex-45
Thanks for posting those pictures SP and the positive comments! Not sure if you saw the blow out on the lanyard hole but it was there from production. You didn't really see it until the dye. I may throw a chamfer on the hole to clean it up a bit if it bugs me, which only happens when I see those big pictures
I will post a write up I did for the Spyderco forum shortly if anyone would like to do it themselves. The USMC Dye is available on Amazon for $10 in a 4oz bottle and it's enough to do 100 or more of these.
