Come on buddy, you can't dispaly a knife like this! this Knife is begging to be used, and used, and then used a lot more! Tell your buddy, to put it on his mantle next to his baton twirling trophy! OK OK, JUST KIDDING, I almost found myself not wanting to use mine when I first got it because I didn't want it to get...I don't know...Dirty, roughed up, used? I don't know, but as soon as I did start using it, there was no turning back, it is by far the best wilderness blade I have. I am sure that the only thing that will ever compete with it is the two knives I have ordered from John. You also will cost me some money, because I love that KyHunter! I can't afford one for this season, but you bet I will have one for next years's hunting season! GREAT DESIGN, and GREAT EXECUTION!
