In hand, there are a number of other "subtle" (?) differences between the TJ portepee and the one on my dag so it was worth the purchase if for no other reason but the education it provided. Even though it's a wee bit bedraggled . . . I can still make out the way it was tied and like the way it looks when displayed! Wink
