I posted this one before, but if you find it ugly, you can always dress it up!

[quote="The Deacon"]Very nice! I particularly like that they did both sides. Just have a couple questions. How's the weight compared with a regular Yo? That's always my concern with stone on larger knives. Are the black bands Jet?[/QUOTE

It does add some weight, but being a big guy the stone makes ...

Glad you like it, I had it done custom.

Picaso marble both sides, with small opal inlays.

Vess has made many sheaths for me, everyone is PERFECT!

As always, great work Vess! Thanks.

Found this one on ebay, never seen one pimped so I thought I'd take a chance. Don't have it yet, so I thought I would get a few pre-arrival thoughts!

An Ayoob plain edge, mint, went for $272 & some change. I just payed $299.95 for the Yojimbo I just posted here. I noticed the knife was being sold new by Santa Fe, that assured me it was mint.

Very nice though, I never would have thought of "beautifying" a Yo.

Yep, every once in awile you see something you just have to have!

Thought you might like to see my pimped Yojimbo.
