Oh man, that is gorgeous. Is that a Marbles look knife? You used much better steel than the one I used to have.

Thanks, I used the original Marbles pattern to make this knife.

Gorgeous knife and sheath, does that W&C leather come that dark or did you have to dye it?

Elegant. I prize my Fieldcraft (52100). It's one "the only" knife I'd consider.

I dyed it, I only buy undyed leather but they have some pretty dark predyed leather. If you give them a call they'll send you a sample of color swatches.

Thanks all

Thanks Ed, I like 52100 a lot. I try to stick to stainless steels because no one cleans thier knife before they put it away. Then they want me to buff out the pits, well that doesn't work to good.
