I had the same issue, and actually went out on date night which reinforced it.Originally Posted by 5pins
What I have wound up with is a Keeshaw... Leek, I think, that I found in my gun room, with a deep carry aftermarket clip from EBay. If it works, I'm going to buy a fancier version of the same knife but with a Damascus blade or something.
Congrats on the new knife! it sure is a looker.
I picked up a CRK Sebenza 21 a few months ago. My logic was that it was a good looking knife that it could be a "Gentleman's Folder" when I'm dressed nice, but still be robust enough to be used as an EDC.

DAMMIT! I did not need to know that knife comes in Damascus.
I have the Nilakka. I need to send mine in for the new bevel but I'm loathe to send it away.

Yea, mine will be leaving for a week or two to get the custom scales fitted.
I might have to buy another one, "one is none, two is one" and all that jazz.

My Nilakka with it's new custom burled mesquite wood scales.
I was in a Texas frame of mind when I chose mesquite, and it came out exactly the way I wanted.
Now it's a classy F'n knife.

I can't say enough good things about "Sketchenscales" from BladeForums.
Steve keeps you in the loop every step of the way, from choosing the block of wood to exactly how you want the shaping done.
These scales came out exactly the way I wanted because of that communication.
More pics.

Damn Jody...that knife looks incredible!
That turned out great. The brown G10 that the knife comes with does not do it justice.
Please remind me which model this is. I had one years ago and lost it and would love to pick up another.This is my dress folder (well, not this particular one, but mine looks exactly like it):
