That Monarch's handle looks so warm and inviting!

Anymore info on this bottom knife. I am still learning models and not sure on this one. My wife is curious about that as well as the actual handle color.
Thanks guys.

ha .. no, not pink. that's just the dust from sanding. Every now and then .. they'll use some pink liners.

 

[Tinbanger]

That's not ruby Shadetree?

 

[bonafide]

That's not ruby Shadetree?

it does look it and it may be .. I'm no expert on that stuff. I can say for sure .. it's RED. Bright Red.

 

[VANCE]

If I was a betting man
I would say this would be the final result

Which is ruby

 

[FeralGentleman]

I have to start weaseling my way into VIP Blade access. There's going to be a lot of happy new Fiddleback owners after this year's show.

Awesome stuff in the works. Ken has some nice looking profiles going on there too.

Thanks for the pics!

[necrolicious]

Thank you for an excellent thread yet again Bud!

Is this a BC Sr on the bottom?

 

[moogles]

I haven't seen many Fiddlebacks (in my limited time) with yellow liners. Yellow liners look unreal against brown and black!
