Jeff, here's my version of it......I can never get a good picture of this dang thing. The figuring in the wood never shows up right.
Mine is a little more "workmanlike" in appearance. I got the Black Palm handle with the dark grain leather sheath.
I remember the day I bought mine I spotted it in the display case and asked to see it. Took about 10 seconds of handling it and I told him "Don't bother putting that back" as I reached for my wallet. LOL
You'll see what I mean when you get your hands on it. It has a heft, balance and feel that fits your hand in a such a simple and uncomplicated way you won't want to put it down. You'll see.
Hard to explain but it just FEELS different than any knife I've handled.
