Does anybody own this Model 1-8?

Model 1-8 .01
Black Micarta Border Patrol Handle with stainless spacers
Stainless forward curved double guard
Duralmin Buttcap w/ tightening acorn nut
Thong hole
C style sheath

I only got my catalog yesterday and haven't had a chance to memorize it yet.
Can one get a stainless forward curved guard? I've only seen brass and NS so far.
Can one get the Duralumin buttcap with acorn nut on the Border Patrol handle?
BTW I went to a pig pickin once where the host was slicing the hog with a #1-7 Red Micarta handle. Can't remember what handle type. For some reason I think it made the Pork taste better.

Sounds to me like you should email Gary Randall at grandall@randallknives.com with your questions. I think he is probably the only one that can answer all of them.

The SS foreword curved hilts are not available from RMK at this time.
The exposed nut that you refer to in also not available any longer except with a leather handle. Greg
