The "Starter Set" Model #4 Knife that everyone voted on showed up today!

It was very close to the 5 month deliver time the Capt. promised.

Very nice piece of "Fat Stag" was installed on the knife by the shop.

Carbon Blade so thinking about going with the "Pickle Dip" right off the bat. Any suggestions about the process?

If I can get a couple of photos taken after the "Dip" on a good camera, I will post them.

Thanks to Capt Stanaback, The Shop and all of the guys/gals, GTR, and the Members of the Forum.
