OK, Crew:
Last time...If you order a "CBB" (Crow's beak butt cap in brass) you get the #22 handle automatically...not the other way around. If you do not specifiy the metal and just order a crow's beak it will many times be made up in duralumin, even though the hilt is brass. Step-by-step, word-by-word ordering will get it done correctly.
Larry: I don't mind folks putting their idea up for discussion. That's why, if I can readily find a photo, I post up a visual of what we're discussing at the time.
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: Voting on an overall finished knife sometimes freezes folks out that don't attend class for a few days...If you know what I mean??...CCS
