I'm seriously thinking of a diff color for the scales (handle ). Not digging that. The natural canvas Micarta dyes very good and evenly. Thoughts?

I would guess black

Maybe black. But would an OD Green just suck bad? I'm colorblind. So I had better pass. Haha

I think a dark gray could look nice.

Well, OD green would increase the value of it.

Unless it was in .40. Then not so much.

Thanks for the great preview and have fun this weekend.

Ha ha, me too, shade color blind here. If it's any darker shade of a color it's black to me.

Black would look sweet! Probably, make the screws match better.

OK, got to use it out in the yard some this weekend. Like I said in my first post, the knife is smaller that I would have thought, but the blade is very thick for it's size so it would hold up to some heavy use. Here's a couple size references, and one last chance to showcase one of my collection, Busse TGLB:

and me holding it:

This would make a great bug out bag knife, EDC knife, or a great truck knife. It looks like it would take some heavy abuse, and has from the other post here and still looks pretty new.
I finished up by seeing how well it would take an edge and sharpened on it about 15 minutes on an Arkansas stone then finished up on a leather strop. It now has a mirror shaving edge on it and ready to send to the next person inline (OK, that picture kinda sux).

I'll shoot them a PM to get their shipping info but it will most likely be the weekend before I'm able to ship.
Thanks again to Klarktx for the pass around.
Dave

Great review and the obligatory TGLB pic. Fantastic handle combo.
