Nice find! I saw that one on the exchange too. The pile side is nice too on your new knife.
Here is my only knife with Tomato Acrylic.

That is a very rare one in terms of frequency. There have only been 4 patterns with that material. The 811313, 631115, 562118 and 562218.

I was very fortunate to snag one of the Mardi Gras #81s before the price skyrocketed on that pattern.

Great stuff everybody, those rare glimpses of short runs set the pulse racing!
Some years ago there was a run of 66 pattern called the Mink Skinner, I had the opportunity to buy one but opted out-the blade arrangement didn't do much for me. I still regret it as the knife was in a beautiful acrylic something like Church Glass, green red anyway.
Another interesting acrylic was to be found on the rather shunned 16 pattern-I don't like Canoes much myself- but again it had a remarkable faux Lapis Lazuli. as far as I recall, or was I dreaming again, day or otherwise?

Great score Darren. Awesome collection! There is just something very special about this bullnose SFO in more ways than one.

Wow! StunningAnother awesome Monday mail call. I was blessed to find a NIT version of this beauty.
I don't normally go for club or rendezvous knives that I wasn't a part of...but made an exception in this case

When I saw that @Terdl76 was contemplating a 93 rehandle with tortoise shell, I was insanely jealous.
Now, I am more than excited to add this one to my collection

Congrats, Darren! Those #89 were a very cool pattern, not likely to ever be repeated. Landing one in Tortoise was a pretty significant achievement.
