I think it looks spectacular! I like the smooth white portions on an Elk handled knife. I wouldn't want it all smooth but in my opinion, it needs a little smooth and a little rough. I have a couple of Bucks in Elk and I have always liked the smooth portions a lot.

Your knife is dang near perfect in my opinion.

Good morning all and hey Jsega51, I'm GOLD! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I had two major purchases hit me almost together. We knew we needed a new roof and we've been saving for that. But the furnace/AC unit needing replaced was unexpected. We thought we had more time. So two major expenses almost simultaneously.
If I hadn't already paid Buck and Leroy I might of backed out. I guess it was all meant to be.
I don't think you all know but I'm recooperating from throat and neck cancer. Chemo and radiation ended last September and I still have no appetite or taste buds. I've lost 95 pounds and I live on liquid Ensure. 8 of them a day since last August in my feeding tube.
But Jesega51, you came along just when I needed a little help. God is great! You are a blessing!
 
Some of you know that I have spent the last 7 weeks staring at a box that contained a Custom Shop 112. It's a birthday present from my wife. I picked out everything, but I wanted her to choose the handle material. I didn't know what she chose until I opened the box today.

Ironwood, Nickel Silver, and 420HC. She did great! I love it!

On a side note, I am now convinced that Buck uses hidden rocker pins on Custom Shop 112's whether you select Rivets or not.

I agree. Your knife is gorgeous. Happy Birthday Bro!
 
I have been wanting a 105 for a while and just kept putting it off until today. A while back, I took notice a certain dealer has not yet bumped up the price on their 105s, leading me to think they may be old stock. As soon as I noticed they were offering free shipping for the weekend, I ordered one. Looking forward to this one, it will be my first Buck.

Along with Jesega51, I want to give a shout out along with a thank you to railsplitter. You have both helped me out and I can only hope that good karma will come both of your ways!
Thank you guys as well as the Buck forum family. :)

Add a third soon-to-be recipient. I have no longer than 4 more days until I can open my birthday present that has been sitting at home since 4-11. It's also a Custom Shop 112 but I won't know which handle material until I open the box. I'm hoping that my wife has a little mercy and let's me have it Saturday.

Railsplitter -- I think I'm in the waiting boat you were in. Birthday in 2 days and Leroy said it'd be here. I'm literally chomping at the bit.
