It is an eye catcher, isn't it? Three models are being made; The user types with either black micarta or burlwood, with black and burgundy sheaths respectively, and this one, which comes in a wood box.
I got an excellent price on it, so I went with this 'ribbon cutting' issue, a supposed scaled down version of the knife used in the Buck ribbon cutting ceremonies of 1966 and 2005. Stacked masonite handle, which actually looks like a pretty good material to use for that purpose.
As usual, when I screw up and buy a special limited edition with no sheath--- I get the urge to take it out and hack something down with it. I'll try and resist. But I do like the looks of this.
