Windsor Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/12/15 Posts: 2065 Loc: Colorado!	Originally Posted By: BladesNBarrels Educate me, kind sir. What is the difference between the thin butt cap and a regular butt cap? Thanks! Check out this post in the Stoddard's Special thread: http://www.knifetalkforums.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=45930#Post45930 The top three are "thin" and the bottom one is "regular". Scroll down a little to see Mr. Kaufman's post of a "thin" and compare to the Sergeant Special here: http://www.randallknives.com/knives/sergeants-model/ _________________________ Rob

crutchtip Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/16/05 Posts: 2855	Originally Posted By: Tattoo Bill I love the Clip Blade with sawteeth much better than the Model 18 blade! Very scarce! I am gonna go out on a limb here without seeing the knife in hand, but my suspicion is those teeth were added after the fact. That is not a typical "clip" grind with teeth. The bevel of the top clip is standard with the teeth cut into the wide spine. Also consider the trough of each tooth which is very rounded, not typical either.

Scroll down a little to see Mr. Kaufman's post of a "thin" and compare to the Sergeant Special here: http://www.randallknives.com/knives/sergeants-model/ I see a difference now. I did not know that you could order a thin versus a regular. I see in the options: BB - Brass Butt Cap DB - Duralumin Butt Cap NSB - Nickel Silver Butt Cap and the 2 types of Crows Beak Butt Cap or even a DOB for a Domed Butt Cap on a concave handle I have seen rounded butt caps and squared butt caps, but I am not sure how you designate the difference. All very educational! _________________________ David Loomis RKS# 724 RKCC# CM-061 Molon Labe

Windsor Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/12/15 Posts: 2065 Loc: Colorado!	It's one of the things that are different between the Sergeant's Special and the Stoddard's Special. That immediately came to mind when you posed the question because my Q2 2016 order was a Sergeant's with Stoddard-like options. My invoice looks like this: SERG NS1 ASP IW SFG WT *NOTE* Thin Butt Cap _________________________ Rob

Chief Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/05/05 Posts: 5415 Loc: Baton Rouge, Louisiana	Why? Because it's flared at the butt? _________________________ See Ya, Chief RKCC CM-037 RKS #5154 If you put off following The LORD just remember......They don't serve breakfast in hell!

tomthbomb Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 3955 Loc: Deep East Texas	Originally Posted By: W Polidori This just in today from the Captain. Ordered 3/15/16. Here's a killer 15CDT, SS, Single Brass Hilt, All Black Spacers, CWT Bone Linen, Fingergrips, Brass Buttcap (thin),Model "C" Black No Hone Sheath. Awesome set-up, would make a great camp knife or hunting companion. Like a 23 on steroid's; thanks Captain Chris! Warren, I have been building this knife "in my head" for months. Good to see it in the flesh so to speak. I will do a rounded butt cap (is that available in "thin"?), metal spacers and rounded top guard, but that is close! Thanks for the pix.
