How I love seeing that shield on #15s.

A few more details - just got off the GEC phone! (no, I don't have a dedicated line)
>They have Nickel Silver bolsters and Brass liners!
>They put the shield in the Ebony VERY reluctantly (and very expensively) It's too easy to sand off the letters and details in the shield. A cutler had to develop a system to make it work.
I think it's gonna be worth it though!!
>Thanks for posting the rough pictures, Sarah!!
>I think they are running a Tidioute Radio knife along with my Diamonds, but I don't know all the details.
> And finally, the finished Bone looks quite a bit different than the first pictures I posted. I thought the cuts were much finer, but when they are polished, they look like this!
Still real nice!!

That ebony is certainly impressive :thumbup:
Charlie, your contribution to the knife world is priceless.

Charlie, maybe it's too early to say, but have you any plans to do a Radio Jack with a clip, or will it just be the spear?
Jack
How do you get one of these bad boys? I don't want to miss out on this!
Back when the diamond jacks were coming out I remember you saying it wouldn't be possible to put the printed diamond shield on a smooth handle. I'm really excited to see it happening here!
I emailed you Charlie but understand you're a busy man. Would you be able to put me in touch with one of the dealers you're working with on this so I'm not flooding your inbox?
Thanks,
Ben
