Not at all. I think the patterns that don't have them that would be a perfect candidate for end caps just leaves the door open to revisit the pattern and apply end caps. :mrgreen: ::tu:: oh by the way thanks for the compliments, very hard to find a good #23 these days... ::undecided::

Here's a pair of #23s I've picked up not too long ago. Cocobolo & ebony. :D
The ebony is not jet black as it appears in the pictures it's actually got streaks of lighter brown in it. ::hmm::

Thanks Trevor, I got the ebony first, and it just seemed strange not to have a cocobolo to go with it. Even though I have other #23s... ::shrug::

TC Barlow and an 85 EO both in Afrian Blackwood. Except for a couple times, this Barlow has been in my pocket since the day it arrived in early December. Being a single blade spey it's wonderfully slim in the pocket.

Awesome knife there Ryan, funny that we each grabbed a 2011 #61 in the last week......Great Minds I guess...... ::nod::
The blade combo and shield really set that one off, and CONGRATS a beautiful Short Run knife!!

Thanks! ::smirk:: I don't have many in the rosewood and I think this is the first I have in the tidioute brand. Congress is a great pattern. ::nod:: slight correction, I said #61, it's actually #62. ::dang:: ::facepalm::
