Dave,
I'm stunned, and going to set fire to my shop. The only critique I have is Dymondwood?   I have to admit it looks nice on the knife.

Ben, Thank you
Will, Thank you. After seeing your edc, I certainly wouldn't set fire to your shop. I knew I would hear about the dymondwood! My wife could've had anything she wanted and she picked this out, she thinks they're real purdy and that's all that counts.

dave -
very nice job, except... show your wife what dyed/stabilized burl looks like here and i'll bet that you can get those dymondwood scales off easily

If she's stuck on green, why not jade? A craftsman with your obvious skills should have no problem with that. It's just a shame to see D-wood on something that nicely made.

Wayne, Crex, Greywolff, Thank You
Wayne, I did show her the dyed burl but no luck, I received my first order from WSSI on Thursday and can't wait to start a new knife so I can use some. Great wood / prices and very nice people Crex, I would love to try jade, I'll have to do some research to see what's involved to work it, I have limited tools Greywolff, This was my first attempt at the vine and thorn pattern, with a lot of practice I hope to one day come close to the filework artistry of Dwayne Dushane
