I've argued with myself for one for a while too. But could never cross over that price line. Congrats, sweet looking piece and sure it feels good if it's ivory. Mmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnn. That is beautiful and so classy.

Kroo seems to be rocking it. Gorgeous piece, looks very well made and of course beautiful. A+. Congrats and best wishes on the new fetish addiction. Least it will lighten the load of clams in the old pocket book.

Thanks for the heads-up, jerryd. I missed out on the last RR Wharncliffe Swayback Work Knife (tried to get one but was too late, all sold out) but now thanks to you, I was able to order one of the new Denim Micarta models before they're all snapped up. I like the blue/black color combination more than the plain black of the earlier model too. :D

And besides looking better, the Micarta is tougher than the plastic handles on the first one.
