Nice! Is that Wyoming jade

Browning only made three models with Wyoming Nephrite Jade scales - 3518F1J (Great Divide), 3718F1J (Oregon Trail) and 4018F1J. The 2718F2 had African Ebony scales. The Jade models were made in the USA and the 2718F2 was made in Japan.

To me the handles appear to be a dark green with lighter green lines running through them. They don't look like any ebony I've ever seen. Here is an example of the jade I have: a set of 4 custom steak knives made of two different types of jade.

That is a beautiful knife!

Here is a photograph of the three Browning Nephrite Jade folders.
