VERY NICE knives I particularly like the lugged hilts in Silver they seem to be larger than the shop Brass ones and thicker as well. Also I don't think the shop does lugged in nickel silver so if you see that color on a lugged hilt it's probably 100% silver. By the way is 100% silver readily available these days?

(Maybe the Capt or someone else can verify that my impression is correct or not about n/s and lugged hilts?)
