Looks great to me - very nice. Not to mention the BG-42, and first year for annuals. :thumbup:
 
Yeah I really like that one. It's very busy and full of light/dark contrast.
 
Thanks you all, here's the back....

I love it. Its got alot going on in the pattern and Maple Burl is one of my favorites. Truly beautiful without being gaudy. Fantastic knife.
 
Very nice chunk! I love finely grained woods and Burls (from the root ball of certain species like walnut, cherry and maple), camphor and spalt produce some of the best of nature's work.
 
That's a fantastic piece of wood ! Congrats Lisa:thumbup:

Did they come with the matte screws that year, or did they get changed? They look great.

Thanks all, and Ken44,
although they're not a matched set, I found this large 1999 to go with my small and both have matte finish screws.

Thanks Lisa, that's pretty neat that they used the matte screws that year.

I put the matte pins and screws in two micarta's, and an old regular. I know some don't care for them, but I really like them.
 
And yet again .... Lisa comes up with another winner!

That 1999 Annual's small sebenza is very special
All Annual sebenza's thumb lug I saw is golden
Only this one is blued
 
Thank you hope1967, I think it is blue thumb lug to match the blue spirograph damascus:
