Thanks Isaeus,
The blade on mine comes from a LE Presidio model with CPM-M4 steel. Unbelievably, there are still some of these LE models available!
The LE M4 model came with the usual black aluminum scales that come with most Presidios. Yuck! :( I don't like those.
So, I bought both knives the LE M4 Presidio and Walnut handled Bone collector. Then I just switched blades.
I am a bit of a steel snob.
I really like my M2's & M4's.
I must say, in the pic, your blade color looks good to me.
I do really like the black blade with the walnut scales.
Good job.

In today's world the uses a knife finds itself performing are a lot different than they used to. Be interested to see how you folks put yours to use. Gardening, plumbing, cutting oat bales open, trimming a gasket, cleaning a squirrel.... it doesn't matter. Just like to see how you get the old traditionals dirty in the modern age.

I found myself doing a little surgery on some spark plug wires today, had to cut the old boots off the wires and replace them with something a bit meatier... without damaging the wire cover or core. Razor wouldn't work because you'd cut right through the core and not know it. Needed a blade I could invert and run the spine along the core and cut off the boot. The little pen blade worked perfectly.

Great topic, when I was working (quit 6 months ago to raise my daughter ) I would have had a laundry list for you, from cutting insulation, Sheetrock, cement board, flex duct, scraping mortar, starting holes in sheet metal, notching strapping, trimming shims ( all done with Opi #9, and Boker stockman ), I even have wired zone boards using only ( although not traditional ) a leatherman squirt. Nowadays a little less demanding, prepping fruits and vegetables for homemade baby food, fishing gear, gutting fish, carving/whittling, food prep for big people, a ribeye once a week and, home maintenance.

I have just been sitting around the house today but my queen @9 did get to cut some wrapper off some saltines. I spent most of the day re profiling my case large stockman and a few others. The queen did get a ton of use over the weekend cutting open: packages of fishing hooks, plastic worms, gummy worms, cutting up hotdogs for bait, opening a several bags of hush puppies for a fish fry, cutting fishing line, and some rope.
 
Used a Case CV Canoe this afternoon to cut lettuce from the garden, prepare carrots & potatoes for supper and fillet a rainbow trout.
