Criminy Paul, that is simply perfect. I have GOT to get one in Ebony, it looks even better than I imagined it might. Wow.

The original I had was a good bit darker. In fact when I first got this one I was a bit disappointed. After a day or two though, I've grown to really like this shade as well. At any rate, both are top notch for a Micarta nut like me

Thanks Forrest. It's just a great knife, the CPM154 holds a nice edge. I've only touched it up on the sharp maker once due to a day of excessive use, cardboard and the like. It's a wee bit beefier than my GEC 15's due to how Eric rounds the bolsters/body of the knife. It's just a stout knife for a single blade Jack and ebony just gives it a true traditional look and feel:thumbsup:

Is it possible you had the maroon old Westinghouse micarta originally? I did a couple of those for the first batch and they were a lot darker. The paper micarta knives like yours are a lighter shade but their colors are very consistent.

Now that you mention it, I do recall the first one being Old Westinghouse Micarta. Thanks for the explanation. The lighter shade is appealing in its own right and as I have come to expect from the few knives of yours I have is flawless in fit & finish.

A separate question, in your work in process photo yesterday is the wooden handled knife Cherry?
 
I have an eye out for Ebony and/or Jigged Bone (every Ebony I've seen has looked outstanding) - I just hope that the email doesn't get shuffled into Spam like the last one did.

One of the things I find encouraging is that these are a bit stouter than GEC's 15. I like the 15s but when they are in single blade configuration, they are a wee bit too slim for me.
 
Just a tiny adjustment in the clip's appearance, perhaps a slight curve or swedge... :thumbsup::eek::cool:

That one is katalox. I forgot to put a cherry in there with them. I was going to but then realized that I had to put some pellets in the stove quickly and that was that LOL.

Are Alber's knives any easier to obtain than GEC?

I saw the knife below on their website, sold out of course, but MAN I would love to purchase one like this:

Easier to get than GEC? That really depends on which model GEC you are referring to. Easier than getting a full custom made, which is quality-wise what you are getting in a Albers Cut Co knife.

Nope... probably harder because of the really low numbers.
Also, Real Knife Knuts snatch these up quickly and don't flip/re-sell them.

I think knife nut describes me! :D I guess I should prepare myself for more disappointment while trying to chase down an Albers.
