Sorry for the crummy shot but the weather was crummy as well at the time.
 
I really like the burlap micarta, but mine still sits in the tube. Just haven't tired of the 2 blades yet. Carried the Desert Ironwood Big Jack for a couple weeks and then the M & G Moose for the past 2. Both lovely knives, but heavy. The burlap is scheduled to undergo a little cosmetic surgery and once complete I will give it some much deserved attention.

OK We're all waiting? What are you planning to do?
 
Here's my modified DLT 54 in blood red jig bone. The dye job it came with was lacking near the top and was somewhat pink. I re-dyed it and added an ez open. I also put a forced vinegar patina. I love the way it looks now. Walk and talk ia amazing. View attachment 715969 View attachment 715970 View attachment 715971

Are you able to pinch it open now? Mine is pretty tough just using the long pull...probably an 8.

Very nice mods. It's a completely different knife now!
