As good as that knife looks, and as glad as I am to see that you're carrying it (especially knowing its provenance), this is all a little disorienting!

Same brick (I think?), same flashlight, similar "pose"--- where's your Texas Jack?!
See? Momentarily disorienting, seeing the new knife in "your" setting, posted by you!
(Sorry to have been obtuse earlier.)

Here's what's in my pocket today-This started out being the worst purchase I've ever done. Very dull, and the fit and finish were horrible. When it first arrived and I saw how it was, I didn't even want to pay for the shipping back, so I almost thru it in my tool box for a tool box beater-literally almost thru it. But decided to experiment, first I hit it with the wicked edge, then I spent about 1 1/2 hours sanding the knife with 600 grit and finished with 1200 grit to get the scales and metal flush. Then I remember someone talking about forced patina-I used alittle heinz yellow mustard, and must admit I actually like this thing now. It still has slight gaps in the spring area (lack of terminology), and a slight blade wiggle when closed, but it is as close to
a perfect size for me. The patina I really like, almost damascus-blues and purple colors mixed with light greyish.
