Capt. Chris--

I was just trying to understand the other questions that were posted.

One reason to "opt" for the Model 6 instead of the Model 7 is the Model 6 already comes in stainless, and with stag, but both of these would be chargeable options on the Model 7.

"But"...thinking of others, the GTR offers what looks like a similar grind profile as the Model 6...and comes in Stainless, Single Hilt, and Stag...as standard. That is "if" somebody wanted to get a blade that is 1-inch shorter than the Model 6.

Tradeoffs, tradeoffs.

Looks like some of us have strayed from the build, so I won't meander anymore.
