And here we will have to agree to disagree. I've always thought the Res-C handles were much more comfortable for a working knife. The sculpted micarta looks great, but is harder on my hand, elbow and shoulder. Not my preference for a working knife.
Can't complain though, as long as the RatsNest keeps the Res-C handled knives in the line Mike __________________ Trying to become the kind of man my dog thinks I am http://www.fototime.com/ftweb/bin/ft...E4E363B}&tio=0 |

Variety is the spice of life, and I agree fully, the res c handles are unbeatable for comfy chopping.
I did discover an interesting mod for sharp micarta handles, wrap in paracord, takes less than 5 minutes and makes for a nice comfy and shock absorbing base. Start at the first rivet hole and end at the last and its off to the boonies. Speaking of chopping and cutting, I hope it clears up a little today and I can get some pictures ouside. Its been so soggy lately, and the humidity is just insane. Double 90's is no fun! __________________ www.armoralleather.com Leather knife sheaths and more.

90 squared is indded no fun! We've had record heat here too lately, over 100 in the 'flats' of Colroado Springs, and mid-90s at my house. Nobody up here at 9000' ever thought we'd need AC, hope it cools some soon !
Whaddya think -- would the ultimate Rat chopper be a RatDaddy with a Res-C handle? Mike __________________ Trying to become the kind of man my dog thinks I am http://www.fototime.com/ftweb/bin/ft...E4E363B}&tio=0 |

Guess, I'll have to tell Devilki that too many Rats in a house is not healthy, sinatary's sake.

Me too, like the Res-C a lot better. But then I like the Res-C on the Basic Line a lot more than that of the Rat . . . |

The inlay on that one is a type of python according to the lady I got the scaps from. I'll have to sit and tell the story on that sheath sometime soon when I get the time, in short Devilki, take care with that one eh? The lady was a friend of mine who worked at the leather store that I frequent, she passed away a few weeks after giving me those scraps. A train carrying chlorine derailed, the resulting gas cloud killed everyone in a few miles radius. That sheath is a result of working through the grief of her loss and the anger at the rail road for letting such an "accident" happen.
I know Santi was eyeballing that one but the guy wouldnt send overseas, how the heck did you pull it off??? That mean you have two Safari Skinners? :cool: __________________ www.armoralleather.com Leather knife sheaths and more. Specializing in exotic inlay and freehand carving. |

Ohh... sorry for her passed away. It made more worth for this sheath. I'll keep them as long as I can.
Yeh... I have 2 skinner but now one've gone to my friend. I keep this one since it's come with your work. And it is the kindness of my friend "Slydlok" who got it to me. Thanks for the story. Devilki |
