His philosophy was simple, if it didn’t affect the performance of the knife, he didn’t bother spending any time on it. So, his knives were a whole lotta ugly in the looks department . . . but their performance was simply amazing." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Point taken. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Just curious what others' experience was.

I think the gap is from the polished spine being done after the handle was put on. A few imperfections give it character. Long live Dan the Hack! If it really bothers you try a tiny bit of J B weld and when it is dry use a marker to make it black to match the handle. I probably won't bother though.

Just give Dan a hard time if it will not fit in his sheath!! If it had a bright yellow handle it could be a different story! Why would the Wolf care what the Sheep thinks!
