Looks like a great pack around knife. Has the bone changed color over time?

Maybe a little more than patina.

I haven't noticed much of a change. Not like micarta at least.

Hiking buddy developing a nice patina. Just got back from spa treatment from Andy. Don't know what steel it is. Might be A2, 1075, aluminum. All I know is it will take a good edge and easy to get back.

Sweet knife! I like the higher grinds. Spalting doesn't look deep enough to be A-2, it may be O-1

A very old one of a kind, hard used Fiddleback with a kydex sheath created by Chris Linton back in the day.

Very cool! That had to be from like 2007 - 09 or so, with the original lanyard hole Andy did. The forward part of the handle reminds me of the old style original Woodsman and Bushcrafter.
