By the time that I made it home two days later....gone. I snoozed.[/quote] I did too LOL... But I had just gotten a really cool #8 that same day so it sorta made it alright _________________________ James Caruso RKCC #CM008 rugermark2jc@gmail.com "First comes smiles, then lies.

Litch Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/11/08 Posts: 1273 Loc: Rhein/Main	Quote: Change the handle from leather to micarta. Change the brass hilt to nickel silver. Leave the spacers red, white & blue. Reasoning: micarta is more resistant to wet environments and less slippery than G10; nickel-silver tarnishes much less than brass; and red-white-blue is for the good old U S of A! Sounds very good to me, Steve! _________________________ Peter RKCC CMI-006 RKS #5720

JerryG Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/04/11 Posts: 320 Loc: WI	Originally Posted By: pappy19 Well, all I'm sayin' is we need a wrist thong and thumb notches, so that leaves 1 more option for the handle. Isn't there a no charge spacer like all black? A Yep. Thumb notches, on any knife, and wrist thong are definite must haves. Shop red/blue micarta would do the trick. _________________________ Jerry

Windsor Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/12/15 Posts: 1872 Loc: Texas!	We only have three (chargeable) options left. WT would be useful, but it can be done outside of the shop if it's a genUine user (yeah, I know, blasphemy). You could throw out NS1 to keep WT but I'm not a huge fan of brass on a "user" knife. And don't forget thumb notches. _________________________ Rob

JE6245 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 01/02/14 Posts: 1064 Loc: Tallahassee FL	I think a WT is a must and would definitely sacrifice thumb notches if necessary to get it. I had to go swimming once to retrieve a knife and got lucky to even get it back. I don't want to have to do that again. _________________________ Jim E. “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” – Yogi Berra Me 2020

Duke Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/21/09 Posts: 2004 Loc: Southwest Virginia	#7-5 #6 grind SS NS hilt Thumb notches Red/Blue shop supplied Micarta handle Wrist thong All Black spacers (n/c) Somebody earlier talked about cleaning the blood off of a filet/fishing knife (Chief or Billy??), and that makes a lot of sense in considering NS, all black spacers and red/blue micarta....AND, "There will be blood"......especially if it will truly be a "user". And, a wrist thong on a fishing knife in any water more than ankle deep makes sense for my use.....& especially when your buddy says, "Hey, can I see your really cool knife?" And yeah, I'm pretty sure I have 6 vs. 5....(really not certain)....BUT....I have 2 pickled blades....1 Randall Hunter/Hiker/Everything and 1 Ruana filet...my other filet is an unpick led Randall that I slip back in the kitchen drawer when back from the coast...& my wonderful wife pretends she didn't notice. Pickled has been great for these......& I wanted Carbon anyway......WAH-WAH -WAH!!
