233 on a sharkie?

Contemplating getting a shark strap for my 233, possibly a Dirk or Simona. Do you think the combination would work? If so would a black or olive sharkie work better? Any other makers I should consider (maybe K-Wong)?

I've been doing horribly picking 233 straps lately, so any feedback would be appreciated.

FWIW, i found the pic below from a google search. not many 233 + sharkie pix out there, though. i would think that green or black would look great.

Cru, Thanks for the photo. Looks good. I went ahead and ordered a dark gray Dirk nubuck shark on sale. I think it'll work nicely. I also found a Rob Montana shark skin that looked great but I like those Dirk buckles.

nice! if you think of it, i would love to see the pic.

i have yet to get a sharkie, but, i feel like it is just one of those "must-haves" in a collection.

IMO there is not a strap made that won't look great on a 233!

My guess is a yellow plastic strap with a SpongeBob logo would look good!

But seriously I am sure the choice you have will look great, please post up pics.
