For some reason, this is just not working for me. Am I the only one that thinks the black hardware was an odd choice?

You're not the only one. It doesn't make sense. It makes the screws/clip stand out even more than it should.

While I do agree on the black hardware after seeing the actual knife and how much the wood differs from above, it does look better.

Seeing how it looks from 3rd parties, I WANT ONE SO BADLY. Hopefully these are still available when my monetary situation rectifies itself. Though, the price is a hard pill to swallow for S30v.

I can't stand it, but i'm thinking about buying one and having brass pins put in there instead, and at least using a matching screw for the pivot. Otherwise i love it...i'm not thrilled about where they decided to split the Ti/wood, but i do love that wood grain and i love Ti so it's a winner IMO. Down the road there's a good chance if enough of us complain they'll change the screw color (it happened on the DLC Para 2).

After seeing this knife in person, it doesn't even look like the same species of wood as what is pictured above (and in the catalog). I like the actual wood much better, but it's odd to me that the official picture is so far off. The picture looks more like a burled maple than desert ironwood. Oh well. The actual knife looks great - I just wonder how many people are put off by the picture.

All natural materials vary a lot, and ironwood varies more than many. It's just ordinary "woodiness."

Puzzled...I received my Sage4 and the scales do not look like Arizona Ironwood they look like a dark walnut heavy grain??? Did this knife come if various woods???
Box reads C123WDP Sage4 AL

[Freetradz]

...oops could not add pick from quick reply. Here is a pic of the wood coloring not at all like the pictures. Box marked C123WDP Sage4 AL

[cckw]

The prototype photo is something like maple. production is with Desert Ironwood. the owner photo above is a typical ironwood look.

It's called ironwood for a reason by the way..

[The Deacon]

Am sure they're all Arizona Ironwood. Some woods are quite consistent in both color and grain, some vary greatly in one, the other, or both. Arizona Ironwood is one of the more variable ones.

[INFRNL]

@freetradz: yours is the same as ours; its ironwood. Someone posted around here about the wood. They all very depeing on age of the tree and where the piece is cut/used from the tree

Its a very unique wood. I really like it
