It appears thicker in the photos? 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.

It also looks like it's BEGGING to be used! Tony _________________________ Tony LaPetri RKS#1885 RKCC CM-022

Keith_Hicks Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 540 Loc: Greenbrier, AR	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 Hicks RKS Member #4613

I just want to know the official name so I'll know what to tell the shop! 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. _________________________ Ken Lunde RKS #5344 SHAG #1 #4-6-6-SS #2 http://lundestudio.com/RandallOrderingFAQ/

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12874 Loc: Central Florida	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.
