With the SS blade, brass hardware, FC Hilt, Spacers, Butt Cap and stag handle I think this is 5 option package. Not counting the sheath which is black.

Tom,
That is one of the nicest new model 2's I've ever seen!

Rick's scrim all the way around the handle is something I've never seen before... great idea, I love it!

Hugh, those pics should be in the photo contest, nice knives and nice props.

Ron's pics are like crutchtip's, always a pleasure and keeps you wondering what's next.

Kevin, this thread is definitely a great idea. If these first two weeks are any indication of how well this is going to run, I very much look forward to the weeks to come.

Hugh,

Your pictures need to be in the October/November Photo contest in the Gallery. Nice work.

Thanks to all for sharing their knives and information with us.
We have seen some real beauties thus far.
Kevin

Nice pics Hugh, is the cylinder pin on your SAA a replacement?

Here's a cross-dressing model #2-8. Needless to say the only part of this knife that originated at the shop is the blade and it's been satin hand finished. This piece started as a model #2 with leather and brass back in the early 90s.

Mid 60's 2-8 with shop supplied Belgian Congo ivory. Dheck and crack free I might add.

Rick,
Yes, I have an extra 45 Auto cylinder for this gun. The elongated head on the cyl pin makes it the correct length so that when it is released and pulled forward the ejector rod head acts as a stop so that it clears the cylinder for removal, but the pin stays in the gun. The only drawback is that to completely remove the pin, the ejector housing has to be removed.

That's kinda cool Hugh. Do you have to remove the cylinder and use half moon clips?
