Yeah that's why I got some RD Rangers. Paired with the SP-51s and SP-10 they are doing fine, haven't got my SP-53s from warranty back yet I really want to try!
How cool would it be... Marine Raider with stacked leather handle & phosphated blade!

True, can't argue with that... I mean, one may as well keep the design all business, even in a retro style rendition ☺
Was looking at my SP10 Marine Raider Bowie... and was thinking how cool it would be to see Ontario make a version with a stacked leather handle, metal butt cap, and a parkerized blade... Just saying!
Maybe we could even ask if they would do a run for a group buy here on the Ontario Knife subforum
Ya, just finished it. Rushed a bit at the end there but it was taking to long. This is my first handle work

Wow, thanks man. Few things I would do different next time, but all mean me building a 2x72 which I now realize I must have.
