If is not too late maybe you may want to cancel this I ultimately decided to return mine, both of them. First, as expected, ordinary current Huntsman innards, no problem here. But then: scales not fittted properly - space between each scale and the liner behind it all around -, rough finishing on the scales edges, thinnest possible exterior liners, 3 out of 4 wrong T&T making it impossible to remove with the nail (they used a different variant that does not work on 91 mm), wood scales as expected are very thin and the shield is just thin silver painted - overall the package screams "cheap!". One of the fancy boxes came unglued as well. Even the el cheapo Hardwood Huntsman is slightly better then these, at half the price. Speaking of walnut (nut noce is walnut) these IMHO cannot hold a candle to the Wenger EvoWoods, no comparison at all - the EvoWoods are beautifully executed and these are exactly at the opposite. The beli wood is more special but the way it is presented I'll post couple of photos later to show what I mean.

No, but still very attractive. If I hold it up to the light I can see some minor gaps, but the ends are finished much better than yours. Spotty quality control?

Gotta love mislabeled auctions... just picked up this Lumberjack listed as a My First Vic and paid 2/3 what one is up to already, still with 4 days to go. AND that one looks a lot worse condition than this one. (Image removed from quote.)
I scored a Wenger donor for $26. Thanks to PTRSAK I have to have a go at playing with Wenger parts now.

That wrench looks like it needs a new alox home as well.http://www.ebay.ca/itm/121039953662?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649(Image removed from quote.)
