Harley Davidson's image is always the colors of black & orange. If you did a nickel silver collar, you would have a knife with no black coloration.
Would not look right.

I figured the black sheath...Anyways: It's less money for everyone to go with all black...or $20 more for aluminum & black spacers..."BUT"...(I know)...I don't care what we build. I was just surprised nobody wanted the collar.

Sorry to bring this back up.

I searched for it to see what we had decided because I'm thinking about a concealed carry knife, and the discussion about double edged sharp blades being illegal in a lot of places was something I was concerned about.

It appears we never finished this one!

Do you want to revive this build Capt.?

I'm ready to finish this build.

I forgot about this "leftover" build. By all means, if everyone wants to finish this then we should do so. There doesn't appear to be much left to work out, except for a couple of points:
A) Availabilty of Orange G-10 in the appropriate size
B) Spacers
C) Butt cap...or not
D) Sheath color
How about this: I will try and find a small piece of orange, or orange & black micarta, G-10 or laminated wood at the Blade show. When I return, in a little over a week, we can pick this baby up where we left off and finish it.
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: Photos of a LARGE Gambler in Orange G-10 and a small one in red/blue laminated micarta...CCS

Any luck on the Orange or Orange/Black handle material at the show?

OK Crew:
It has, indeed, been a while since we worked on this build. I did "not" fine any type of orange handle material of proper spec for this Small Gambler at the Blade show. Sorry: It's just one of those things. I guess we're sort of back to square one. That might not be a bad thing, after so much time passing.
How about this for a "ROLL CALL VOTE". Vote for one of the following:
A) Stick with the Small Gambler and continue searching for orange G-10.
B) Stick with the Small Gambler and use Randall's shop-supplied black micarta.
C) Scrap the Small Gambler and build another Randall model.
D) Scrap this build and start a new Harley build.
I think a bike knife would be a well-received project. It's just that the odd specs for a Guardian or Small Gambler make it difficult to find handle material. We have some of the same crew as when we started this build..."BUT"...we also have a whole lot of new crew members who could contribute their ideas to a renewed project.
You know I don't care what we build...Let's VOTE!
Thanks, Capt. Chris
