My sheath started out light tannish brown and is now really very dark brown. It had oil and sno seal and who knows what I might have rubbed on it on the outside, and LSA on the inside from the blade plus a lot water. You can see the tip of the blade poking out and the black tap around the top holding the sheath together.
The pictures were taken several years ago before I understood the effects of background color on objects.
The lanyard is a real genuine jungle boot lace marinated in rice paddy mud.
