    I think Campbell nailed it: "but if you are going pearl, I'd go with black lip MOP".

    thanks for the input guys! After sleeping on it and giving it careful deliberation------------------Ebony it will be.

    Here is a quick and dirty progress picture. Bolsters/frames are milled, holes drilled for the scale pins/nails. Still a ton of work to go, fitting of the scales,shield(oval as the Remington has) swedging and tons of hand finish work.

    Ken, I think it'll look even better with ebony - it doesn't need the *BLING* look of MOP.
    This will be a great little knife!
    Thanks for showing it

    How I wish I could come to BLADE and see it (and the others) in person...

    Great knife Ken. I really liked the blade length, like a full blade in a gents size frame.
