I REALLY wish I had ordered 2.

I know...

I think something is wrong with mine!

Looks like they over-heated the blade when they sharpened it.

 

[J0LLY71M3]

Amatures!!

 

[waynorth]

I find it hard to believe it came from the factory like that!!!

Seems we have a credibility gap here!!

Mine is more of a brown than a black wood, depending on the light (and next to some true black ebony):

It's beautiful, so I'm not complaining.

I like the unusual brown colors that Ebony can display!! Nice one Rachel!!

Many months ago, when I realized this was going to be sort of a sailor's knife (and that's its name now!), I figured a dark brown wood would be ideal. I think they have turned out great. Hope mine is in my mailbox when I get home today!

black mamba - Seems an employee of GEC would have noticed that amount of over heating while sharpening the blade and would have called a supervisor's attention to it. Maybe the result of some over zealous sharpening by the recipient?

waynorth - Like you, I find it hard to believe that came from GEC as pictured but then again, stranger things have happened.

ED and Charlie, I think the whole thing was a spoof, just simple patina. I was just playin' along.

Mine came last night and it is EXCEPTIONAL, except for some reason there are 2 light scuffs on one bolster. And it's nice and black hooray! But now I'm torn bc I bought the knife intending to do all kinds of mods, like a coffin handle and regrind, but given the unmet demand for the knife maybe I should pass it on to someone who will love it in an unmolested form. Guess I'll keep it for now and decide after the holidays.

 

[knowtracks]

Mine showed up also!
THANK YOU to ALL who did all the work to make this Happen!!!

I got spoofed then, but I'm still wondering!! It's an unkind spoof if it is one!!

It was just a joke
