I would suggest a (regular) brass hilt, red and brass spacers, a wrist thong and a green micarta border patrol handle.
Thanks for the built

My vote for a fishing knife for Florida and NO the shop won't make it and I usnderstand why.
Model 3-7" out of 3/16" stock
Model six grind
Thumb notches
Reduced nickel silver guard
Any spacer configuration
Finger grooved Micarta handle
Wrist thong
Waxed Sullivan's sheath or a kydex

Wishful thinking but it would work very well for our area.

Ha Ha, Perry, don't we all wish for that config. Don't you and Cap have some stroke??

Pap

Pappy,

"Don't you and Cap have some stroke??"

I don't even want to know what that means but the answer is "hell no", whatever it means.

OK Crew: Let's decide some stuff. Model #7's come standard with a leather handle, brass single hilt, red, white & blue spacers and a duralumin butt cap.

Do you folks want this?....OR.....Something else?

A) Hilt
B) Handle

Good start. Let me hear your thoughts.
Thanks, Capt. Chris

For a fishing knife I would go with micarta or G10 it will be wet a lot so I wouldn't stick with the leather.
Maroon for me

Peter

Exactly! Maroon would look good with brass, too.
How about brass and red spacers?
Thumb notches and a thong hole would complete the package for me

Hey Cap ... I think my question got lost in the soup.

Can finger grooves be had on a #7-4.5", or is it too small??
Thanks,
Tony

A) Brass Square Top Hilt
B) Leather

Randall has been selling these knives with leather handles for a long time as a "Fisherman-Hunter". If they don't hold up to getting wet, wouldn't Randall use a different material?

I was thinking about the same subject ...
It would be nice IMO

No finger grips on the small (3/16") stock knives. Sorry guys!
Best, Capt. Chris
