After you open the box, give her a good once over, but then drop it in some gravel and kick it around a few times. Just get it out of the way, otherwise she may hypnotize you! I gotta admit, this is a pretty knife and feels good in hand.I'm not a great verbalizer, but I can tell you I am absolutely blown away with this knife and sheath, and look very much forward to handling it in person, and it will be my first knife of 52100 (and my first cow bell)! Outstanding job, John, and the photo is first class as well!! Well done, brother!
Thanks Shel, I can't tell if the photo looks classy or like a Taco Bell coupon!Awestruck. Truly a gorgeous knife, John, and a nice photo too!
It's a lightbox and a cellphone pic. I really need to devote some time into learning more about photography.Nice quality pic but a bit dark, I've never gotten my edge shade to look good on my pics. Is that photo from your light box?
I have a cheap light tent I bought off of eBay and have been using my cell phone camera also. I've been playing around with some lighter colored back grounds and I think it may be helping a bit.It's a lightbox and a cellphone pic.

I have some fiber and PVC in red, black and white. Some kydex in tan, black and green that would work. Gotta see what else I've got.Colored spacers the one thing I was going to suggest next.lol
The fiber is pretty good stuff, some people don't like it because it can soak up water, but I've put it on lots of knives and never had a problem with it. It may swell a bit but just about all natural/organic based materials will. As far as kydex on a knife handle test a mock handle with some, I was putting red kydex in my sheaths and found out it is a real pain to try and keep clean. I had to resort to wiping the edge of the sheath down with acetone to get it clean, it's soft so when you work it, it seems to get imbedded with grit. I'm going to continue putting kydex panels in my sheaths but I might just stick to black kydex.I have some fiber and PVC in red, black and white. Some kydex in tan, black and green that would work.

John,Here's a lefty version to aggravate Mack and Chris
