The good Captain is a plethora of information!

He's a veritable smorgasbord, an overflowing cornucopia, of all things RMK ... our "Alex Trebek" of Randall knowledge. Let's make it a true daily double Captain... was a lugged nickel silver hilt ever an option?

Truthfully: I have one in my "Stash" and I have seen "2" others...Total! That is in the officially "rare" category!
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: As soon as I put the "KNIFE KNEWS" to bed and get back from Tulsa (after Thanksgiving, most probably) I'll post some photos...CCS

Wally,
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong please, but I believe there was a 12-9 / 14 with nickel silver lugged hilt at a shop sale couple of years back.
I was not there, but seems I remember hearing about it. The "hidden treasure" of being present at a shop sale. And again, iirc the first numbers chosen passed on it ????

"Pure" Silver is an option still, for "a few dollars more"

I believe "pure silver" would be a customer supplied material.

Yessir, I've only got one, and it's not the rare nickel silver, just plain old silver silver.

Yes, there have been one or two available in the spring sales...not entirely sure which ones they were though I believe they were Ivory and NS lugged hilt 12-11 Smithsonian's...

I really need another Ivory handled 12-11 Smithsonian! This time with a NS lugged hilt! lol

I guess not, huh?

I assume that it isn't as I've never seen one but is a crow's beak butt available for a model 25-style handle? That would look sweet!
