I understand, and I even saw your early post about the holes. However, I consider Scrap Yard's access to the shop as a scarce, critical-path resource. If that's the case, and based on their shop time they can only release one non-military run every quarter or so, I'd rather see a different concept than a skeleton knife. I don't know that I'd even buy one, although I might just to maintain my collection. For me, a part of a Scrap Yard's knife's value resides in its comfortable, durable, shock absorbing, Res-C grips -- if I could send other knives (like a couple of my HI Kuhkris) into Scrap Yard to be re-handled, I would.
