Thank you Mike. I have done so much searching over the last 5 days that I think I am able to recognize every mass produced sgian by picture, know who made it, abd what the price should be. I've seen everything form the BudK model, which sells for as little as .01 on ebay, to $12000 for a Bryan Lyttle original.
I do think I'll wind up with two. Probably a mid range stag handle for day and a custom job for dress when I find the right one. And I'll spend more than .01, but certainly less than the $12000!
Keep it coming guys.
David
