Very nice knife

Think this pup will be named the Zebra.
Washed it up. Handles are greyish black, and the only "satin" in the tang is on the back and front. The pommel is black, as is all of the blade. Nice contrast, black, steel, black, steel.....
The sheath marks are into the finish on the left side, visible in 3 spots, and "feelable" (fingernail test) in 1.
There are some "love" marks on the blade, but they only are in the center 4-inches. They are not through the finish, but have thinned it a bit at the edge (dark grey still..)
The sheath is taco-style, with 7 holes down the side, every other one has a "rivets" in it. Towards the bottom, there is a 1" slit for a legstrap.
The belt loop is one-piece, with 3 screws attaching to the sheath lip.
Not sure if that is a factory sheath or an aftermarket.

Mike,
Congrats, that is a Beauty.
I'll fall in line behind Raden, if you ever decide to sell, let me know
BTW, just guessing, but I'd say the sheath is factory

As is mine.
At first quick glance I wasn't sure what made it "different", since mine is a splitting image, and then noticed the tip. Mine is the standard rounded tip, but the handle, uncoated satin areas, reminds me of what mine looked like new.
Of course, it's had the sh*t beaten out of it since then...

Been a long time since I've been here. Curious how much you paid for it. I have one of them also that I just replaced with a BM-E on my LBV after talking to Jerry and Chuck at the Indy 1500 show a while back.
