Cap'n Chris' Combat Companion "Camper" Contest!

[The "Captain"]

Say that 5 times fast!!
O.K. I have given everybody ample time to voice their opinion, with regards to our "Happy Camper" project (contest, if you will). I never want to be a pollster. The results are "still" not clear, but I think I have a fairly good idea of what ya'll have "kinda" decided.
Clearly: A "Border Patrol Handle" or a Model #22-styled handle, with duraluminum "crow's beak" styled butt cap is the winner for a handle shape. Brass was hardly ever mentioned. A couple of votes were for no butt cap, or possibly a compass, but the afore-mentioned was the overall favorite. Rather than try to explain the difference between a border patrol handle with a duraluminum butt cap and a #22 handle, I am just going to make that call and order the knife. I believe everyone will approve of the "final product".
While the clear choice was easy to see, with regards to handle "type", the results were not so clear on material. I counted 1 vote for black micarta, 1 vote for maroon micarta, 5 votes for green canvas micarta, and 5 votes for antique gold micarta. Clear as mud! I have a "SOLUTION"!! Let's make em'both!!!!!!!!!!
Coming out on my next available order, probably delivery and shipping around mid November of "THIS YEAR", I am going to submit specifications as follows:
A) 1 ea. Model "Combat Companion"
Stainless steel
Nickel silver single hilt
Aluminum and black spacers
Green canvas micarta handle (#22)
Duraluminum "crow's beak" butt cap
Wrist thong
MAB (model "A" black sheath)
Model "A" waxed sheath (NHS) no hone sheath
B) 1 ea. Model "Combat Companion"
*NOTE: Same specifications as "A".

O.K. Any questions? Both knives will come with 2 sheaths each! You have a "waxed" sheath, with no hone pocket, to rummage around with and get "down and dirty" with. You will also have a standard configuration black sheath, which will look great with either color micarta handle, especially with the aluminum and black spacers. This way, for the O.C.D., aka "Anal" crowd, like myself, you have a sheath for most purposes, not to mention color co-ordination for most belts!
I will let this post "air-out" for a couple of days and get your feedback, but not through the weekend, as I am really pushing it to get these specs into the shop in time as it is. Let's hear from ya'!!
Oh: By the way: Closest to the pin on number guessing will get first pick. Unlike "most" number drawings, the "farthest number pick" away from the actual number will get the "runner's up" oppurtunity to purchase the remaining "Happy Camper"!!
Let's hear from ya' Best, Captain Chris Stanaback

This all sounds very, very COOL Cap! :cool:

Thanks for settling the micarta colour conundrum, I think you have the wisdom of Solomon.

Hopefully you'll get the necessary feedback by the end of the week.

Cap
That sounds great to me although I originally wanted Stag I will go with whatever the Forum Decides Did anyone ever mention the G-10 Orange?

[RedElk]

WOW! Thanks for the extra shot Capt! And you have done it again on the choices.
That sheath option is one I never would have considered.....one of each....BRILLIANT!
When do we start picking numbers?

[Raindog]

A very wise (and generous) solution to the handle material question. Thank you.

[pigsticker]

OH HELL YES. That means I would have a new user. Always need another one or two. Hey Moose did you ever get that 25 dirty ? Hey Cap I will be the first to say thank you for spoiling us, on getting us a chance to get a randall in 2 to 3 months.

Capt,

All I can say is... "Someone, No, TWO people are really going to be happy with getting their #2 and #2A Thread knife!!!"
