Gary,
As far as the "only" options available on a certain model...we could go on and on with "exceptions" to the rule. Nickel silver butt caps being just one. Antique gold, black, green, maroon, rosewood, walnut, ironwood and maple are all available as "centers" for a Model #25, #26, and #27. The shop does not like installing nickel silver butt caps, as it slows them down. It is available, however.
Dubie: No need to apologize. Believe you me, over the years I have posted stuff that is not doable. It just adds to the confusion, and we, as Randall knife freaks, are confused enough on our own!! Best, Capt. Chris
