No, not in most cases. If the shop sees (thinks) someone is abusing this service they will certainly make the call. Quite often (well...not "quite often"...but often) I will sell a Randall knife, as will the shop, and it is a gift, etc. The person wants it etched or whatever...The service is there because of situations like this. If a customer starts using up 5 options on a knife order and then sends the knife back into the shop for:
Etching
Compass
Wrist thong
Etc.
They will handle it. My advice...and "all of my orders" are for the customer to include whatever they want in the 5 options. I will not exceed that...period.
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: Besides Tom: In the case of this question, the knife could have had less, in fact..."no" options, so I answered the same way the shop would have. Abuses will happened (or be attempted) but I do not think it is a huge problem. If it were the shop would change their policy...CCS
