No tips beer spilling tips from me but here's my most carried linen micarta knife (only a couple of months of carry over the years). The first 2 pics are from when I received it. They looked solid black but there was a hint of linen in the handles. The 3rd one is more recently after washing the handles.

Dadpool...that S&M senator is really a looker. I've not even given this model much of a glance. probably because I normally just don't get attracted to pearl. And it is difficult to judge a knife on online store or even the bay from pictures, But you have managed to pick some really unique knives.
You have the eye for these:thumbup:...That senator in black pearl just about defines what a gent knife should look right.
Very nice Dadpool!! How big is it closed? Looks like a Queen #26 Senator which is about 3 1/4" closed.

GEC # 73 s/n 44. I am so in love.
Dadpool, that knife is outstanding in every way; congrats! :thumbup::thumbup: I have to admit that I didn't even know that knife existed, and now I'm wondering how I can exist without one!I've been searching for my perfect gentleman's carry, and I think I've found it in the form of this 2002 Schatt & Morgan black mother-of-pearl Senator:

I'm flummoxed as to how to capture the luster and depth of the pearl with my camera, which is marvelous when the light hits it just right. I've completely failed to capture it here. I hope, however, that I've at least been able to convey how wonderfully smooth this knife is -- the covers are so neatly joined that it almost feels like the whole knife is a single piece. The pins are barely detectable by feel.
This knife ticks so many boxes for me: equal-end, sheepsfoot secondary, lightweight (1.3 oz.!), vanishingly small in-pocket, pleasing in-hand (four-finger grip), and the best fit and finish of any of my S&M knives. The only way it could be closer to perfect is if the main blade had a fully sunk joint (the secondary does), but it's so close to sunk that that's a minor quibble.
I'm so happy with this little guy!
Congrats, SAK Guy! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Thanks Brett! I've been very fortunate on finding some of my "grail" fixed blades lately . Been neglecting that part of my collection for a long while.
Fantastic new knives for you, Mike!! Very cool!...Early mail call today.

Congrats, CROWE; those stag 73s are just incredible!! :thumbup::thumbup: Almost every time I walk away from a BladeForums session in the past month, I have a little debate with myself. "Can I really afford to get one of those stupendous stag 73s that several members have recently bought?" "Can I afford NOT to get one? Every owner seems to adore them!"[/URL][/IMG]![]()
