Grif,
Yes it came from Rick. He has sold some really nice knives over the years. When I look at his gallery, I get very envious!
Jim

Jim, I thought I recognized your Smith from Ricks site, I ordered a Smith during a visit to the shop about 5/6 years ago and it came up recently for specs, I sent the Shop a picture from Ricks site and said that is what I want, Just recently recieved the knife and it looks just like yours, obviously I like it alot...

Grif,
Why don't you post a picture or two of it. I would like to see the "twin" to my knife.
Jim

For some reason my pictures did not all load??
As you can possibly notice when I ordered mine I sent a picture of yours taken from Ward's site and drew on it how I wanted the shape I asked the shop to fatten the handle slightly, to put a wider larger curve in the handle where it meets the hilt at the spacer stack and I asked for a radiused but cap. I even took the printed picture from Ward's site and drew on it with pencil complete with arrows and tracing paper how I wanted the changes from yours for the shaper of the handle to see what I was after, can you notice the difference? The other difference I noted when recieved the knife is that my but cap is not paralel with the hilt like yours is, this i didn't ask for...after all RMKs are hand made and all knives are not the same.
By the way sorry about the finish on the knife as it still has the shop preserative on it, also if you click on "attachments a full picture of the knife appears.
Regards
