Thanks all. Yes .... I am liking the fact that the colors are more blue than purple. It did come as a surprise to me, however. I guess that is the danger (though maybe danger is too strong a word), in buying one with a wood inlay or specific color anodizing without seeing it in person! Photos are great ... but not always 100 percent representative of the actual subject. Photography (good photography) is an art and is challenging even for pros .... for casual photographers (or hacks like me), it's hit or miss. In my case, I have a good camera (mainly use my Nikon D300S), know a lot about lighting and exposure ... yet I still struggle to get a good pic that I am happy with. So, I really won't dwell on the fact that the product page image of the knife is different than what the knife actually looks like. I understand completely. However, this is what really gives me pause about rushing into the purchase of something like mammoth bark or a particular wood inlay sight unseen or solely based on a picture. There are some variations that I absolutely love .... others are simply okay. Again, thanks. Now, it's on to obsessing about the purchase of a large Seb with snakewood and raindrop damascus that I made last night! Will it ever stop .... never mind .... that was rhetorical and we all know the answer anyway!
There is so much to admire about Sebenzas, even the "Plain Jane" ones!
