Unlined thong hole Question

Unlined thong hole Question - 06/11/20 02:19 PM

I’m looking at purchasing this 7 spacer 5-6 Bradford Angier and the seller says the thong hole is Orginal. I sent these photos to the Randall shop and they said to post them here for better clarification. It is my understanding an unlined thong hole should be 3/16ths and Chamfered. I am wondering if it is original or non shop drilled. Thank you

The thong hole does not look “exactly/completely” round to me. I looked at a few thong holed micarta knives I have and they all looked symmetrical/uniform.

I am sure someone with more knowledge than me will be able a more definitive answer.

Edit:

I looked at a couple more of my 7 spacers with thong holes. Those 2 did not have uniform holes. If fact one looked similar to yours. So you can see, I am of no help, lol.
