Logan, most of the snakewood back then was very nicely figured, should be a winner!
Logan that's a beautiful 53 stockman young man! Bring it to the Rendezvous and let me smoke it over good!I'm not the biggest fan of snakewood, definitely prefer ebony, ironwood, and cocobolo, but as it goes this seems pretty nicely figured.

It is pretty much perfectly built. The blades sit better to my eyes even than my stag stainless one (which is great) with the tips deeper and the nail nicks more exposed. Might just be my eyes or excitement over a new knife, IDK. The main blade might be a little bent, but it sits centered just as it should. The fit of the covers is near perfect, slight exposure of the liners on the pile side near the center of the spring. No gaps. Great action probably a 7 on the main and 6s on the secondaries.
I'm not sure what I'll do with this knife. I plan to use the stag stainless as a carry and user.

I'm gonna need that canvas micarta! I soooo regret ever letting mine go....A few more Cuban Honeys to share. These are quick and dirty pics taken in fading light with my phone. Some of you folks take great pics. Me, not so much. Pictured are two burnt stags, canvas micarta, carved stag bone, and brimstone bone.

I did a sheepfoot mod on this #54 moose in green velvet acrylic. A Churchill on steroids!
