Sure make the flower jealous Kurt. Just so interesting in the design, covers and blade.

Gary did you reshape the Opinel handle? That's some special Rosewood on the Lambsfoot!!

James, not only did I reshape the Opinel handle, intentionally, but I discovered after doing so that the blade's tip was exposed, so I had to reshape the blade as well, which was definitely not part of my original plan.
Here's what I saw when I closed the blade after my handle mod!

My "fix" was to use a file to remove the metal marked in red in the next photo:

It turned out much better than I feared it would!

Thanks for the compliment on the rosewood. It is quite special, I think, but the photo I posted above (using some kind of "dramatic" filter in my computer's photo processing app) probably accentuates the grain! Here's another shot without the filter:
