You can't go wrong with Osage!So no OD option. Guess it'll be Osage if I'm lucky enough to be in the first 20... Or maybe natural canvas...
Absolutely, if OD we're an option I'd have a lot tougher of a choice. Though an OD would complete my Surls/Osprey/Fiddleback OD trio.You can't go wrong with Osage!

I’m not sure if it’s possible, but maybe you could work something out with another forum member.....buy one of these options now with and agree to trade for an OD if one becomes available in the future. It’s a gamble, though.I'm bummed that after Andy said yes to OD now it's not available.... I cant spend the extra money on a second choice handle material.
