Better late than never! I was thrilled to get this beauty at the 2018 Spring shop sale and it definitely made the wait worthwhile. The wood on the #25 handle is burled, dyed maple which is beautiful in itself but to me the extraordinary feature and the real prize was the N/S hilt and butt cap. Greg Gutcher made the sheath from a beautiful end piece of crocodile tail and said he used techniques and tooling differently than he had ever done before. I think the sheath compliments the knife perfectly and is a masterful demonstration of Greg's work that I could not be any happier with.
