Chad, Cliff and the rest of this crew:
Yes: Simple, very similar to the catalog except a "slight" amount of option offered. The first Model #1 had a brass butt cap to match the hilt. Carbon steel is the standard material in the catalog and, to start a collection (aka "Starter Set") not a bad choice.
Having said that, a forward curved double hilt on a model #2 seems doable. A nickel silver hilt to match the duralumin butt cap, a wrist thong..."SOME" small change like "SOME" (but not "ALL") of the above-mentioned things mentioned here is not out of the question. Let's "KISS" folks!
My original intent was offer some "mini-builds" to get new members and folks who have not received catalog-type knives a chance to pick some up in short order. I also wanted to keep the price down. It is quite easy to get carried away with a 5 chargeable option limit. Think about this: Standard catalog Randall knives are quite impressive on their own!!
Best, Capt. Chris
