G'night Vic!

Good night Victor

Maybe some really thin ones. I'll do my best to maximize it.

Tolly, did you hear back about the desert rat?

Tolly - think you will go for one of Jerry's new knives, or wait to see what the Swamp has, or both?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Check out the pices of Wild Olive wood in these pictures. I used it for a pedestal and backdrop for the pics a while back, but I am makinf my Dad some custom scales for a custom SAK out of the smaller highly figured piece. Wild Olive is some of the most beautiful wood you will ever lay your eyes on...It doesn't float either...Very deanse!!

I'm interested in Jerry new knife.. why? no clue.. I'm a for sure go on the rat no matter what.

wilson combat slim line grips are a 1/3 the thickness of normal grips

It's a hair less than 1" thick and my 1911 scales are 1/4" thk each and I'd probably use 1/4" scales. With three cuts of about 1/16", it only leaves about 5/16" left before sanding.

nice Olive wood, one of my favs

Haven't heard anything yet.


I will definitely be picking up the new Swamp Rat unless it is as ridiculous looking as the new Busse. I know, I know, I shouldn't be that harsh on a Busse product here on the Forums, but that new Busse just SCREAMS Mall Ninjas to me.

No offense to those of you who like the new Busse

That's some pretty wild grain, Tolly. I've never seen/handled olive.
