I took the pic when we had the 2 together. We've actually got quite a collection of custom pics from the past several years.
Ken was going to trash these knives as he considers them "defective". Stop pin holes were drilled in the inside of the handles but weren't used because the stop pin is the thumb stud. To Ken the extra holes on the inside of the handle make the knives less than perfect and bug the hell out of him. Some friends convinced him not to throw them away which is why they still exist.
Ill be in Hawaii in 2 weeks, I'd gladly take any of Ken's "defective" knives off his hands (or out of his trash).![]()

So now you're prescient? Tell me, what am I thinking now?"retroactive revisionism", "exponentially expanding discussions", "hijacking" and "timestamp" are such vague terms/words.
Besides, You are an hour behind me. Therefore I posted the link a full hour before you even thought about dumpster-diving!![]()
