A while back this group helped me with a Loveless style drop hunter, and I love the thing, thanks. But I've come to realize that it's a bit too much blade for a simple bird and trout knife, so I've asked the maker to make me a smaller knife, and he suggested a Caper Finn style. Being a Loveless devotee, once I looked into what a Caper Finn was, I fell in love and am going to go ahead with one of those (3 5/8" blade).

My question is on the aesthetics; my drop point hunter was green micarta, red liners (because I prefer not to think for myself . . . just kidding, love the look, and since it was my first, I wanted that). So on this one, what are some cool but not too flashy, and useful options that you think set off a Caper Finn nicely? I haven't seen much online other than black micarta and Ironwood. Or maybe I just do green micarta and have a matching "set"?

Thanks in advance.
 
White micarta red liners? It's a personal favourite of mine.

But green with red is always nice and classic.

Stabilised burl woods can be very nice as well..... Just saying.
 
I reckon this design would look really good with maroon micarta and white liners.
Edit: or maroon with blue.
