TonyLaPetri Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/05/05 Posts: 6904 Loc: Glen Head NY	Butt Cap finishes off a nice piece of wood. And brings it all together with the hilt. _________________________ Tony LaPetri RKS#1885 RKCC CM-022

Chief Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/05/05 Posts: 5414 Loc: Baton Rouge, Louisiana	LOL nice try.......butt cap changes the balance & helps if the handle material is to short. _________________________ See Ya, Chief RKCC CM-037 RKS #5154 If you put off following The LORD just remember......They don't serve breakfast in hell!
