Joe is obviously used to working with his hands and has ideas for knives that work for HIS tasks.

Maybe I am lazy, but I have a bunch of different "knife maker" knives and some knives work better than other knives (even ones with a Randall name on them) for a given task.

Randall Made Knives can't possibly make the perfect knife for every task or person.

So I tend to agree with Dirty Water that the Randall 'shop made' "modified" knife that suits YOUR tastes, Joe, may seem like seem like slapping ACE Hardware paint on the Mona Lisa to the shop guys. But it is your knife and you paid your money for the knife.

Like you said You 'customized' the knife to Your tastes.

Just keep posting but don't be surprised if some do not agree with the mods you have made to your knife.
