Thanks! Mine is in the mail, and I am seriously conisdering doing several mods on this funky puppy sea ...

Any reason why the ricasso on the Rock Lobster is so wide? The custom Anso and even the Spydiechef have much smaller areas.

Hi, where did you get back spacer for Rock Lobster? thx

is it hard to try to roung them out with several sandpaper grits? I got the orange G10.

thx, yeah, could not find anybody except ebay lovesbladesguy. Vendors sell for all kinds ...

It´s awesome to hear from the master designer himself and see so many opinions and suppositions quenched.
