Chief Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/05/05 Posts: 5415 Loc: Baton Rouge, Louisiana	With wood being able to be dyed & the stabilization processes of today, there are a lot more options for color. So I would guess that color plus no import fees, I.E cheaper. Most of the wood that is all that is bought on set up day at blade. Last year all the Spalted wood & the hard to get types bigger than 1 inch square were gone early.

Wally Knife Enthusiast Registered: 07/08/06 Posts: 2444	This one doesn't have a crack I can find. I figured 1958, 59, I guess it could go another year one way or the other. One of my very favorite shapes for a model 2. I'll work on some more and better pics tomorrow. _________________________ Wally
