Pit, I actually returned that Bowie to Justin because of a couple minor variances from what I expected. He made a new Bowie for me to replace it. I felt kind of guilty for putting him through the extra work, so we agreed on a price and I bought it. Now I have an ALMOST matched set of Bowies with the desert ironwood handles, and the one with the black and red G-10 handle. I love my Bowies!!!
