It is a completely different micarta that is somewhat darker than the shop A/G. I just noticed on your knife that the place where the brow tine was removed is not visible. _________________________ Tom Welch RKS #4868

Don Hedrick was able to do his magic work on the spot where the brow tine was. He has a technique to convert the spot so it looks like it was never there.

This is my first crown stag and my third Rick Bowles special. This is a huge stag made for left-hand use and the brow tine spot was magically worked by Don Hedrick. Here it is from different angles.

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2582 Loc: Southeast Utah	Thanks Ken The quality of your photos is always superb, and I hope to improve mine. The white balance really did the trick. I am using a small tripod too. My battery in the camera went so I will do a group shot of all my RBS later Peter _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives
