Joe is correct about Tom having the approval of Bo to customize RMKs however he liked but there were a couple of others who come to mind also, namely: Gail White & Tommy Bish. This handle was done by none of the 3 mentioned here.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris


Cap -

I know Bish modified knives, but didn't think he actually assembled them, pinning butts, making handles, etc. I don't think Bish engrave either. Correct me if I am wrong, but most of the Bish stuff I have seen was kinda crude with modified butt caps. hilts, and such and were for his personal liking. In other words, he wasn't an artist like Leschorn

Gail White I am vaguely familiar with.
