I had previously replaced the original covers on this F&F to a burlap micarta. Then recently the owner wanted something different, so we went with black micarta bolsters, and brown canvas micarta covers. I know this look does not appeal to everyone, but I really enjoyed marrying two materials like that. Here's the evolution of the knife...

I like it more than a little. It looks very cool to my eyes, kinda spiffy that should be reserved for special occasions: church, fine dining, anniversaries etc. Dropped in the pocket of a tuxedo.

I'm with Garry, I really like it!
I can also see how it would be fun to make it.
