Straight up Wicked! I feel privileged to have watched it bloom. What's next?!!
I can't compete with the modders on here but I do a lot of modding to my own knives.
Here's my Vic Rambler on my keys.
I made custom scale material from canvas micarta, blue liner material, and crushed mammoth bones in resin. I then made the scales from that.
Solid brass liners and pins.
Acid washed and stone washed all the tools and the knife, even the springs so it all matches.

Thank you sir. I found out Schrade made a very similar knife back in the day. Made in USA. I bought two of them and will customize both. Here’s a different take on why I can’t stand black knives these days. Emerson converted to jade g10 scales and all silver hardware.MORE! Please. There's a lot of people who couldn't have pulled off what you have there. I sure as heck couldn't have. From the size of it being problematic to the textures and materials you chose, that's no easy accomplishment! Well done!
I was thinking the same thing when I saw those. Got to be lots of places to stow such a small fire starter.
I know less is sometimes more, but..... For some reason, my brain keeps imagining a rope twist running down the spine/spring.
