Now where oh where is the blood red DLT? I would love to see a picture while I wait for my pre-order to be filled.The way the DLT Appaloosa turned out is unexpected, but perfect for me. I'm usually the guy buying the black camel bone that is mostly white with just a touch of black. So, I'm pretty excited about these. The snakewood looks like it's going to be luck of the draw if you get stripes, spots, or not much of either. The burlap turned out pretty good too. I need to start getting some invoices for 54's before I end up ordering something else. Will be interesting to see how the blood red jig bone turns out. Judging from the three below, chances are it's going to be nice too.

Got pics of my two ironwood 2-bladers today. I've wanted some decent ironwood for a looooong time, so these are very prized! The two sides of both knives are nicely matched, which I really like as well. Like I said earlier, two very different types of grain, and both beautiful. The only thing that compares with good ironwood to my eye is really good curly koa. Maybe we'll see a run of that material some day. Thank you, Dale, for this terrific SFO!

Would you fools recommend getting a Desert Ironwood, or the Beaver Tail? I'm looking to get one, as well as the DLT SFO.
