First, if any one has a Randall with a polished stag handle I would love to see it.

I'd also like to know how you'd go about ordering one from Randall. Is that something you request that they do in shop?

I came across this picture and thought it was a great why to get a fossilized ivory look without the price.

Scott (and others) have mentioned that the only way to get polished stag nowadays is on a model25 handle.

That limits your knives to mdl25, mdl26, mdl27, mdl12-9", and mdl12-9" 14grind (all these with only leather-stag-leather mdl25 handle, of course).

Earlier examples exist and they certainly look good.

Thanks for the info Rob! Stinks that it isn't available on most knives but makes the 12-9" with the 14 grind a real compelling option. I am going to do some Googling to see if I can find any examples of it.

Thanks again!

I polished mine & then sent it in as stag customer supplied.
Trust me it's better that way because your there as it's being done.
You get to decide when to stop & have the look that you want.

Whoa, those are some knives to be jealous of. Very beautiful.

Chief,

We've discussed this one, very similar shape. Mine just rehandled by BMK in FWI.

Don't want to give the impression of hijacking with a rehandled BMK, but Chief and I shared parts of the same FWI tusk earlier build.
I will re-post later on my completed makeover.
