Piter,
Thanks for the kind words and pics.
Edited to ask: How does the grip feel when wet?

I don't know how you did this (design? material? most likely both) but the handle gives actually MORE grip when wet! That's at least my impression. Generally the grip of Pacific is excellent. I like it alot Bill.

I like the pictures Piter. I posted some pictures of my serialized version in the
1st SFG(A) Forum. When I took mine home I was on my bed with it in the sheath but unsecured. I picked it up, upside down and the knife slid out of the sheath, hit my bed, bounced up and stabbed me slightly on my hand...I learn my lesson with that 
Bill-I think my father and I are planning to go to the Blade West show in Portland this coming month. Will you be there?

So whats the 7th, 5th, 3rd and 10th GRP Knife going to look like. Doesn't 10th already have one? Make the Handle of the 5th Group Knife to resemble the color and texture of the Camel Spider. 7th can just be in the shape of a Jalapeno Pepper

Piter,
Gripping better when wet comes from the exposed canvas layers in the micarta swelling slightly. Sandblasting the handle like we do helps with this too.
Thanks for the kind words from you guys and Guy too.

Bill. All:
I am now the proud owner of a (Serialed numbered) 1st SFGA # 0161 Knife, Blade S30V 55-57RC. Handle Black Canvas Micarta. I just got mine delivered at the SFA 16 Chapter meeting today!
What a GREAT combat knife! I love it!

Great Service / Great Knife
An original member of our SWAT team retired this week, and we decided to get him a Pacific. I had a great experience in dealing w/ Chris Reeve's company. I called and ordered the knife on Tuesday. It was engraved and in my hands by Friday morning! The knife was the perfect gift, and the experience was ultra professional.
Just wanted to drop a public thanks to Bill Harsey and Chris Reeve for a great knife!

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'll make sure the Reeve shop reads this.

What a perfect gift! Any Chris' knife is a great choice but Pacific is simply "best of the best"!
