I was wondering if anyone here is in the closet,....the "I customized/altered my Randall" Model *-* closet???

This is not so much about professional engraving, as that is generally not changing the mechanics or design of the knife,....just the cosmetic beauty,....and is not likely to be done by the owner. It's also quite accepted and not likely to be an issue with the strictly collector types.

So you made changes to an intended user or EDC knife,... BECAUSE either Randall doesn't make the model you desire (such as a thinner bladed "Bushcraft" style model),....No the Model 28 Woodsman is still too fat and the grind not what I'd like,....and,...um....I'd prefer no choil.

....or you have a model that you like overall, but still has issues that changes you made would make it better for your intended purposes?

I realize some here will cringe as such a thought,....but I doubt Bo wouldn't mind were he still around,..."IF" you would actually USE more of his Knives! The sheer number and variety of Randall offering shows he was open to new ideas,....else we'd have just ONE style Randall. :-) (and no limited editions or minatures either)

So,....while I have several Randall's I will never make changes on,.....I have a few I've added a well positioned thong hole on (two Model 26 Pathfinders with brass butts/pommels),...and one of those I worked on the blade to make it a better (for "me") woods and food prep knife. 3/16th inch is just too thick for my preferences.

Please keep this friendly,...even if you don't agree with customizations. If you'll carry and actually USE at least ONE Randall regularly,....I think the big man upstairs is smiling.

Just PLEASE,.....NO BLACK SPACERS! As the Captain pointed out in a thread I came across recently,..."Black spacers are NAZI COLORS", and Bo wouldn't do it on ANY blade leaving his shop! Red, White, and Blue spacers only!

So you show me yours,.....and I'll show you mine! (Original warranty be damned! )
