OK Crew:
So far...we are building:
* Randall Model #12-9", #14 grind
* Stainless steel blade (Option #1)
* Nickel silver hilt (Option #2)
We know one of our remaining 3 options is the custom bog oak being used for handle. Let's talk out the other "2". I got no dog in this fight & have no preference as to what we decide. Many have thought a solid nickel silver butt cap would look good. That would leave "1" other option. A nickel silver collar would use us up.
If we eliminate the butt cap you would have more latitude and leave the natural end of the wood to appreciate but sacrifice the heavy handle feel, brought about by the nickel silver butt cap. Lots to think about.
You're next!
Best, Capt. Chris

Nickel silver butt cap pretty much necessary, IMO.

Commando handle shape (freebie option, yes?)

NS collar wouldn't suck in this build, but obviously eats last option

all black spacers wouldn't be too bad, either.

Don't like the butt cap. You lose too much of the grain. Butt plate would be better or none at all. Coolie cap would work too.

Commando shaped handle.
black and aluminum spacers
don't like the butt cap, I'd rather have the wood on the end
