Brent Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/06/16 Posts: 297 Loc: Mid Michigan	Am I correct in assuming that the only handles that receive nuts on the butt are the models with full leather handles? I know that this sounds funny, but I'm serious. _________________________ Where ever you go, there you are

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12681 Loc: Central Florida	Any CDT RMK with a butt cap (not a butt plate) has a nut (female), threaded to accept the tang threaded (male). The "exposed nuts" appear only on leather knives these days but..."back-in-the-day"...exposed nuts were the norm on all of them! Hope this helps, Capt. Chris Below are 2 examples, to show my point. I just had to do a "quick-Dig" into my STASH 1st! Older (Low "S") Model #8-4" in black micarta with the (then normal) installed "exposed" nut. Newer Teardrop-shaped Lignum Vitae handles Model #8 with the "internal" nut... Stay sharp, Capt.

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12681 Loc: Central Florida	Rob, Scott can address this, probably better than can I, but I think:? * The butt plate is silver-soldered to a wood-type screw and then, with added epoxy, the butt plate "&" attached screw are screwed into the butt end of the handle material.

Brent Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/06/16 Posts: 297 Loc: Mid Michigan	I'm sorry, I should have been more clear, I meant only the leather handled knives have the exposed nut on top of the butt. _________________________ Where ever you go, there you are
