Cap the thread is polyester not nylon.

Thanks Man. I'll call you next week. I think I need "things".

I've got a catalog 27 coming one of these days....

LOVE the handle.....and that stitching is a WINNER

might be a 6, but i am wrong alot

more brown thread and steak knife (thanks MR. LOOMIS)

Just received two new Stanaback Specials! Great new pristine white handle material - a much more brilliant white than the older Ivorite.

Capt Chris was kind enough to hook me up with the first of two new specials; one with compass in finger grooved handle and the other with the new etch "RKCC/ 1 of 40th" and black sheath, commemorating his 40th year in the arena of Randall collecting and dealing. Thank you, Capt. Much appreciated.

That makes three Stanabacks in my dispay. If I can manage to do so photos are included. Great knives. Love the Model 8 and the great white handles really stand out.

Well - no. I can't manage all the URL stuff and the pictures are in Picassa. I will post the pictures in the Randall Collectors Facebook location because they are very nice and I would like to show them off. Sorry for my inability to manage the digital age.
