I just picked up several Randalls and I want to EDC a model #23 and #15 that have Micarta handles. Not worried about collecting value, just wanting finger groves added. Micarta is very slippery when wet....

I use a drum sander to add finger grooves, but be careful with the Micarta dust.

I find just adding one makes a lot of difference.
 
One is stainless, so bluing is not going to do much. The other looks like carbon steel, it will get a nice patina with use. No need to blue it.
