Sorry, I just got your email. I think that is indeed Ebonite. We used Ti screws and the color seems more consistent than micarta.

Looks like ebonite to me

Thank you !

Shipping from the US to a Canada right now is atrocious. Eberlestock wants $98 and Dewey wants $81 for packages that ship free to my address 3 miles south. Just the matter of that stupid imaginary border in the way.
...

That's unfortunate, and yet tons of dope from China and Mexico enter the US - I wonder if any US "officials" are making money on that (although I'm sure most are hard-working, honest people).
Having lost my only child to a drug overdose, it's a real sore point with me.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Thank you. It's been a few years since it happened, but it still hurts. I do get irritated when I see governments do as much as they can to restrict our freedom with knives and guns, when drugs kill more people in the US than guns, and certainly more than knives.

Knives don’t necessarily kill people per se but they can certainly keeel

Justin is not a TV watcher so someone please splain it to him if he gets lost

That reminds me of when I was in the Smoky Mountains years ago, and a young gal with a deep southern accent said something about the beautiful "heels", and I thought "what is she talking about" – I finally realized she was saying "hills".

Hands down the best sub forum on bf and steak should never be well done... oh and serrated knives should never touch a steak. Random rant over! Hope you all have a great long weekend.

Creek is properly said as “crick”. Drives me nuts when people say it’s a Creeek. No it’s a crick!

If it was meant to be crick, it would have been spelled crick! And don't get me started on root vs rout, and roof vs ruf

Town near me named is Fall Creek and their high school mascot is the crickets. Wouldn't make sense if it was pronounced 'creek'.

^^^ Great packing job Chip. My wife said if we ever moved, my “precious” knives would be the first thing I would pack. I also use the tee shirts in my knife bag for extra layers of packing.
