A new to glass customer purchased 2 ********* 895-4's in Black, one for himself and the other as a gift to his fishing buddy. (lucky friend)

The first one got a Black Lemke LC-1 with a shop turned piece of Spalted Maple, Western Grip, TiC Framed stripping guide, with Black Nickel Snake Brand Universals, wrapped with Fish Hawk Nylon, Red Metallic Trim.



The second one got a Bright Nickel Lemke LC-1 with a shop turned piece of Cocobolo, Western Grip, Bright Nickel stripping guide, Nickel Snake Brand Universals, wrapped with Fish Hawk Nylon, Silver Metallic Trim.



Thanks for checking them out.

Thanks for all the positive comments, jalthoff, that nylon thread is Garnet, the Fish Hawk brand is almost exact match to the old Gudebrod Garnet.

Both look great! I don’t know which one I like more:). Black glass with garnet wraps is a sweet combo.
