First off, I'd like to thank some of the denizens of this forum for their great info and assistance. I've been reading & learning and admiring your Sebbies quietly. I've wanted one for a long time. This one arrived yesterday, and a second should arrive tomorrow. 
It's not only my first Sebbie, but it's the first in a series of knives I'm having made. 3 knives, one representing each child, each made by a different knifemaker. I will carry them until I can't, and then they will be given to each child. Sort of a family heirloom project with some meaning. This one is representative of my 2 yr. old daughter, who sat next to me on the couch as I opened the box, and who cried out "TURTLE!" once she saw the knife. She was as thrilled as I was. It's design is based on The Legend Of Kauila - a legend that has great meaning to my wife and I and bearing on the birth of our daughter.
I thought you guys might enjoy the photos as I have yours over the last few months. Sorry the lighting isn't better. The koa and iolite are not done justice by my photos.
The quality of this knife is some of the best I've seen. The assistance and high level of service I received from the staff at CRK was second to none (thx Bridget, Lisa, Merlin and Chris - you guys rock). I'm a very happy camper.
My second Sebbie should arrive tomorrow. A plain, small regular of recent birth that's been well cared for. It will probably see harder duty than the above, but I'll bet it takes it in stride.
