Good luck with the build Capt., it should turn out to be a spectacular knife. Who ever ends up with this knife I hope they get a great deal of enjoyment out of it. Perhaps one day they will come to Australia and see where the handle originated. In fact they can look me up and I'll be happy to be their guide, as many members of this forum help me when I visited the US last year.
The forum has changed it is no longer the fun place it used to be, and that has soured my enthusiasm for Randall knives. I haven’t been posting here for some time and now I think it is time to move on. My RKS membership is paid up for another 18 months and for those of you that do not have my email the PM system forwards to my email anyway.
Cheers
