well this gives me an idea thanks... as far as the brass spacers they look very much to be brass when I first got the knife they had green spots on them and one has a slight ding on the other side of the knife...did they use anything else that may look like brass? at first I thought the spacers were leather because the red is faded to brown... but I found a little speck of red..

thanks again
