W Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/09/16 Posts: 5791 Loc: Central New York	Originally Posted By: Dirty_Water The ones that were made in the 80's when I started at RMK had nothing to do with a broken tang other than the commemoratives... If tangs were "broken" or chopped off too short, we did NOT use them at all... Ronnie, U are sooooo correct about Pete, if he didn't know the answer... U got one anyways!! Scott, So the ones that were made, were they special order? I'm a bit unclear how these came to be. Thanks in advance. _________________________ Warren

Byrdguy Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 1676 Loc: FL Panhandle	Yes, Warren, but winding up with one of those oddballs would be about as rare as winning the lottery. Still kicking myself for passing up the chance to buy an 18/15. _________________________ Pat Remele RKS#4413 SHAG# 8 RKCC# CM096 NRA Member

LarryWW1246 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 03/20/06 Posts: 1733	Regarding the Bowie-clip 14/18 that I showed Pete, I found an entry about it. At the time, Pete was able to find five (5) knives in the records he had that were made for Jack Crider. Not to say they did not make more than five, but that is all Pete came up with.

TAH Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/26/05 Posts: 2382 Loc: USA	I'd like to know how many 15/18s were made with a Bowie clip. This is the only one I've seen. _________________________ Tom RKS #4233

Windsor Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/12/15 Posts: 1871 Loc: Texas!	When did the threaded brass butt-cap come around? At the Tulsa G&K show the weekend after Easter, I saw a lot of M18s with crutch tips. I always wondered how many of them were threaded inside the handle if spectators were allowed to fondle the knives and remove the black tip. _________________________ Rob
