The liners are regular from a kit.
I had that knife made for me by MM and specified the scales, hidden pin solid nickel silver rear bolster, filework and red spacing.
It's a piece of art and a heck of a nice sharp knife.

Just to be clear....i believe thats Dark Horn, with an Impala Jig on it. Am i correct?...

Its not Impala horn itself...just jigged like it. If i am wrong here somebody say something

I'm not sure last seller told me Impala ? but you could be correct
Jeff probably knows .Sorry anyone if I came off misleading. Thanks Chrisadamley

Well i have a Buck 110 from MM and he did the same jig on it. Its Dark Horn with the Jig to make it look like Impala Horn. Still a very nice knife...

[Jeff]

Dark horn? Impala horn? I don't know, it was sold to me as "dark impala horn.

[Chrisadamley]

hmmm.....I'm like 90% sure its not impala....but heck, i have been 90% percent sure on ALOT of things and have been wrong on ALOT of those things

Anywyas, im tempted to get the knife to match my 110

....

why did u sell the knife jeff? ....im just curious why its making the rounds out of multiple peoples hands. Anything wrong with it?

[dragonsteel]

Nothing wrong with it. I'm a vintage guy and took it in on trade . I have had the same guy I got it from trade me new knives for vintage ?Think barshoo? had it before him . So I think it went threw 4(set) hands now.

[Chrisadamley]

im confused, is there wax on this thing or something?...what is the smudge in the middle of the handle that looks like its raised or rough edges. Just curious

[dragonsteel]

Looks like a layer in the horn ? maybe rough edges I didn't take the pics .

[Jeff]

Chris,
It is an awesome knife. The smudge looking thing in the top handle is a polished smooth contour to the horn I think.
It really looks amazing in person and that offset gives it some character. Nothing is wrong with the knife last I had it and judging by the collectors reputations that have kept it I beleive it's probably still newer than new looking . Muskrat Man really puts a good polish and sharpening.
I traded it for a limited Hubertus and some $. Alot of my collection revolves because I have so many interests and so little income.

Dark horn? Impala horn? I don't know, it was sold to me as "dark impala horn.

It's actually dark horn that is jigged to look like impala horn. I did a knife with it about 3 yrs ago.
Great looking stuff.
