Really Very Nice, Jay. My only comment other than that, would concerning the use of thread other than black on this particular sheath and knife combo. I know you have a reason....what is it????

Edited to add: Just as i clicked submit, I happened to think of the name...Yellow Jacket. the thread takes care of that "other" color

I LOVE this knife!
