32Craig Knife Enthusiast Registered: 06/04/15 Posts: 55 Loc: Washington State, USA	I am curious about the construction method RMK uses for a stag handle with a Brass Butt Plate, Is it attached to a full length tang mechanically/threaded or glued? _________________________ Craig NRA- Life Member since 1981 Retired

oldguy Knife Enthusiast Registered: 04/27/11 Posts: 777 Loc: Yeehaw Junction	Butt plates are glued direct to the handle material, no butt plates for full leather handles . Butt caps are attached by thread to the tang and depending on the handle type the nut is exposed or machined and polished flush. oldguy _________________________ RKCC #CM055
