Awesome! Haven't seen a nice gun blued blade in a long while! That Recon Government sure does look minty.

Good snag!

always did think the blued recon government to be a lot more fashionable than the standard satin finished model.
awfully nice, but do watch that the factory blued finish doesn't get worn away by over enthusiastic and mostly unintentional friction wear thru sheathing.
in which case, you could post out your knife for rebluing with no return address or postage.
always glad to be of help to a fellow classic sog appreciator.

p.s. I got lucky last October and one dropped into my lap, but it sure doesn't look as nice as yours:

took a look at the pics of your Recon Governmet. You could gun-blue it again.
