Question for Osprey Knife & Tool ahead of the buy tomorrow. If a knife is ordered without a liner or pinstripe, is the overall handle thickness the same (with liners and pinstripes)? I think this topic came up during the last Fiddleback group buy and I believe Fiddleback handle thickness is less without liners or pinstripes. Thanks!
Yes, I will maintain he same girth in the handle regardless of with liners or without. I figured out a while back how to alleviate this by just starting with thicker material on the linerless (Commando) handles.
On the other end of the spectrum if you choose a smaller knife with lets say a thick 1/8” base liner the handle will more than likely be a tad beefier in the grip, this is due to not being able to remove as much material and contour as heavily on smaller knives with thicker liners as not to pinch the liner and maintain asthetic integrity.
