Mr. White was, indeed, a man. He included at least "1" black spacer in all of his custom-handled RMK blades as a tribute to Bo. I posted correspondence (in letter form) between Gail White & Grady McCotter a few years back on this forum...about this very subject.
"NOT" a re-handle. An authorized craftsman who was allowed to purchase Randall shop-made and shop-finished "blades only" and then handled them.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
PS: Blade-Show-worn...I'll be back up to speed when I get back in my shop on Tuesday!!!CCS
