Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12704 Loc: Central Florida	In all of this thread one question has still not been answered. "NO": The RMK shop never supplied or offered Briar wood as a catalog offering. Scott will also tell you this. Many wood-de-jours have been made at Randall that were not a catalog offering..."BUT"...(feel better already)...they have been one-offs, etc. Hope this helps, Capt.
