Peter, you wrote:Yes, it is probably 50% thicker than an equivalent Sullivan's Holster Shop sheath.

Say, the "Ironwood Nut" in your signature gave me an idea. INC: Ironwood Nut Club.

You know, you don't see that many 5s with a Border Patrol Handle.
It looks GOOD! Especially with the Radiused Butt Cap.
It also looks like it's BEGGING to be used!

Striking looking Model 5!

I've never seen one like it.

Ken,

Is the official name for your shortened butt cap called a "Radiased" cap?

I think I've heard it called a "shortened" butt cap, "radiased" butt cap, "thinned" butt cap. . .and I'm sure there are others. I just want to know the official name so I'll know what to tell the shop!

Keith, you wrote:The original shop invoice has "BB--THIN & ROUNDED" specified as non-chargeable options for the Brass Butt Cap. I didn't know about THIN, and have generally used RADIUSED instead of ROUNDED. They may be the same.

Nice knife, Ken:
"Thin" is 3/8" (approx.) and a "standard" butt cap is about 1/2" (give or take). The larger cap makes the handle look more like a BPH but I like the thin & rd. cap far batter. Great combination.
Best, Capt. Chris

Here is my new #5-5 SS with Brown Micarta and FG. Feels great!

Best, Peter

As well, I'd like to add my new #5-6 with TS, NS and compass. And a handle with some really gorgeous stag

Very nice Model Fives.
Thanks for taking the time to post on The Knife Of The Week.

Peter,
BEAUTIFUL FIVES!!!!!!!!!!
I like the red/aluminum spacers, especially with the brown micarta.
