I'd like to know what those are gonna look like after I've owned/used that there knife for a few years.

Thanks,

I don't have that model, but the snakeskin colors will likely darken over time/use from hand oils. Micarta is some very tough material, so I don't think that the pattern will be lost. If in fact it does begin to fade you could put some mineral oil on the slabs to rejuvenate the color.

I'm not sure if I answered your question though

Thanks, Mike. I'm hoping to actually have someone chime in with pics so I can have a visual.

Thanks for the pic...
What I'm looking for is pics of what that color combo handle will look like once they've been well used. That's nice SHe though, Uncle.

Since the handle is micarta the colors will become more vibrant when used because of the oils on your hand.

Ah, I kinda figured they would dull a bit and become one consistent color.
