We have a problem with language in our day.. Thing is that we are so accustomed to using superlatives, that when something comes along that really deserves one, it never feels like it got the praise it may have deserved. Kinda like the work you have done with this knife.. I can say "wow" and amazing, but it just doesn't cut it.
So, Karl, I really like your workmanship, the time, thought and effort you have put in that knife! May not be the most complex thing you have done, or it may be, but still, it looks great!

Too late, but it's not a big deal. You can see that it had indexing pins installed - right? Then I tapped two 10-32 holes in the inside of the butt cap. I put 2 one inch long stainless steel screws in the holes and these will sit in the epoxy when the handle is filled. Remember - this is NOT a take-down.

Thank You Karl. I saw the indexing pins and figured there was a solid attachment system in there some where.
