OK Crew:
In the interests of moving forward...and to be fair to the lucky winner who, after all, has to pay for this knife, I think it a fair compromise to allow brass & red or Brass & black spacers, per the winner's preference!! The vote tallies 10-8 in favor of black..."BUT"...(you knew it was coming)...I cannot help but feel that my personal comments possibly swayed that secondary vote.
So...Let's move on. We have, thus far:
* Randall Model #5-8"
* Carbon steel
* Standard blade shape
* Thumb notches
* Brass single hilt (Standard or squared top)
* Brass spacers (Black or Red)
* CW Amboyna Burl Handle material
Looking close to wrap-up. We still have some latitude, option-wise.
* Handle shaping
* Butt caps, plates, etc.
* Wrist thong
* Compass
Let me hear your thoughts...
Thanks, Capt. Chris
