Chief Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/05/05 Posts: 5413 Loc: Baton Rouge, Louisiana	Does anyone have a chart that they could post or email on the size each RMK handle & the material supplied buy customers needs to be? Is it OK if its a little big or should it be trimmed to exact dimensions?

Chief, I will send you some Florida Keys Lignum Vitae for one of your handles. Your letter arrived today. You are a Southern Gentleman who won't welch on a bet.

Dubie Dude those pictures you sent me of the Lignum Vitae are way cool! Do you know if it needs to be stabilized? As for the bet, that's round one my Tigers & your ^*(#@ Gators play often enough to keep things interesting.

Dubie Dubie, I have grown up hearing that term (my name) used in a derogatory manner and when I do hear it I wonder if the person using it knows were the term originated. Do you? Actually the correct term is "Welsh". _________________________ Tom Welch RKS #4868

jclarksnakes Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/21/05 Posts: 785 Loc: Savannah GA	Tom, ..Welch on a bet? The term comes from British bookies who would close up their businesses and go to Wales to avoid having to make large payouts on unexpected large losses. It would be more correct to say that someone had Welshed on a bet rather than Welched on it but the term has been used with the corrupted Welch rather than correct Welsh for so long that it has stuck. An old friend named Doug Welch told me this. _________________________ Jeff Clark CW4 USA ret. RKS #4358

7033grip Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/10/05 Posts: 5148 Loc: Winter Haven, Florida	Since both welsh and welch are commonly used, I prefer the word that sounds harsher. A "Welcher" sounds more sleazy than a "Welsher" Tom, I heard that the word started in Hollywood in 1959, when some studio producer wouldn't pay off on a bet on whether or not a new starlet named Raquel's boobs were real. Besides, "The 5th Avenue of the West" is called Welsher Boulevard. I didn't want to confuse anyone. Dubie

Dubie Dubie, You crack me up! I believe that is Wilshire Blvd., but you know that. Your homework assignment for this subject is: What the movie Braveheart. _________________________ Tom Welch RKS #4868
