It's all right. I have a cart.
 
So, I was going to ask if that stepped off bolster is common. Don't think I've ever seen one that way... I now take it that it isn't? Why is it like that anyway? :) Certainly attention grabbing!
Being new to TEW I could only offer a guess, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will jump in. If it isn’t just aesthetic, it may have something to do with the flush tang, although the 23 has a flush tang and no step in the bolster. Hopefully someone will educate us.:thumbsup:

These needed to get out of the cigar box.
