John,
That sounds like the Jemico I saw. Nice, very red leather that even looked a little sticky for a good draw. The linen looked very lose weave as if it would be quite soft.
I saw it in an expensive knife shop in the mall. One of those places that once you ask to se something and it's out of the case they are determined not to let you leave without buying it. I thought maybe I could simply throw a 5 spot on the counter and they might let me cop a feel without the sales pitch <g>.
