Chris: Yes i do. When you said campilon i couldn't remember which one until i looked at your link. I also found out that a full-sized camp that i bought from Lee Berg, and which has a very rare handle style also seems to have a strange type of "twist". There is some dark staining that needs to be cleaned up before i can really tell, but i think it is some kind of twist. It has been up on our backboard for a good number of years and i just didn't take a really close look until a year or so ago. Iv'e been thinking about taking it down and working on it, just have to work up the ambition i guess.........Dave.

Ian.

large nails were original, i just had to polish them.., i think i can find another kris scabbard with the same wrap here somewhere.
