Gary, I positively agree with you. But Stainless Steel is a wasted option where I live. So to me it offers nothing. I have a lot of Stainless Steel Randall's. I just like saving options so I can get the options I really like. Double Hilts, non leather washer handles and WT. It is easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle then it is to get a Build on this Forum with a Carbon Blade. I can live with that. Eric.
