tomthbomb, I didn't mean to copy you, exactly, but you can't tell it from the knife that I just received. The micarta that I chose to put on was brown when I sent it in and was supposed to come back yellow with maroon tips on the fingers. It didn't exactly work that way. I love the way that it looks but it sure looks like I tried to copy you. Sorry.
You can barely see the maroon tips in the last photo if you hold it just right. I don't blame the person that sold it to me or anybody for that matter. It was just different than expected. I like it.
