TAH Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/26/05 Posts: 2382 Loc: USA	Not sure if this would work or not, but what about taping off the wood handle and the spacers on each side of the gap, then filling the gap by rubbing a tiny bit of brown shoe polish into it. A slightly more aggressive approach would be to use a tiny bit of brown wood putty. Just thinking out loud here... _________________________ Tom RKS #4233
