It's interesting how the tempering colors inside the nail nick match the colors of the stag.

Not that interesting...would look beter polished in my opinion....or at least the coloring removed.
What? You don't like the pretty colors? :foot:Quote:

With that said, I would rather have it black than brown........ but on that knife by that maker.........I don't think I would send it back! If you know what I mean.

Just my 1 1/2 cent for what ever it is worth. I think polished or cleaned off nail nicks are for the most part seen on really fancy knives like your are knives and folding daggers and so forth. I also think that on a tradional folding knife like a slipjoint or a lock back, dark nail nick look crisper and give it a more custom made look to the knife. I try to make mine as dark as possible by pulling the blade out of the foil wrapper as soon as it comes out of the oven to get.
I like 'em however Tony and Reese like 'em.
Well said my friend...well said! :thumbup: ;)Quote:
