This is way better than it should be. The "stag" is very obviously lazered or cnc'ed or milled or something, but whatever. It's bone.
The odd patina is from an orange. I had some super sour oranges a while back and thought it may work. Cleaned the blade well and stabbed an orange. Let it sit for a few hours and that's what came out. Kinda cool.

New to me pre-owned VIC Huntsman in like new condition.
I believe it qualifies as "thrifty" since it lowered my bank balance less than $18.⁰⁰ shipped.
I use the Nite-Ize #3 "S" hook to hang it from a VIC belt drop or a split ring I have on the 03:00/15:00 belt loop of all my pants.
(even with name on pocket outside of pocket pouches, pants still get misdelivered on laundry days.
I R the only bas*ard (not my fault mummy was single when I got to "Earth".
) here with 1.25" split rings on at least 4 belt loops of my pants, nylon wire tie loops on unders band, & what joins socks together with a nylon wire tie, and fasten them & unders to the belt loop split rings.
Since starting that my clothes only get delivered rong 1 times out of ten.

This whole set was more financially reasonable than most of my single knives. And, as far as I know, they are probably very good knives.

Eric, yours has the newer tang stamps and shield, but otherwise is the same as mine, one of my most favorite "thrifty" knives.
