I'd like to mention something that I noticed when comparing what I received today to what was actually pictured in the eBay post as well as what is pictured in an image that I was emailed from Sue when I bought my smaller #6 knife handle from her not long after she made up my small custom set. In the image Sue sent, the knife in the middle of the image is actually the handle that I received from the eBay seller today. In the eBay image, that #6 handle in the sellers image is the same as the #6 handle all the way on the right in Sue's image. Notice the difference in the collet it is more rounded on top. [I don't have an issue with this as I am not trying to collect all the different #6 handle variants I just wanted a small one and a large one and I now have both of those]. There is also a third "larger" style #6 handle that isn't pictured in any of these images I can post that if anyone wants to see one. I believe I still have an image in my email from Sue with that other large type #6.

Earl does your #6 handle look like the eBay sellers image or more like what I received today? Just curious ...

This is cool how rocketry has lead to the collection of modeling tools,, which I too enjoy. Nice going..... mine are old too. Dan.
