CW, I don't know. Time will tell. I'm not positive but I believe I got this idea from one of Brian Fellhoelter's posts on this forum. Sounded like a good idea to me so I went with it. It can't hurt, it may help and the extra cost is minimal.
Thanks guys! Travis, you put it on the list and I'll work on actually trying to make a knife as great looking as one of yours. Calvin, I split 2" belts with Tracy's handy belt splitter.
