Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12867 Loc: Central Florida	It's true: My buddy, Gene Beal, salvaged this 1" X 1" X 3" piece of cocobola out of a fairly large piece I bought at the Knifemaker's Guild show, this past summer right here in Orlando! It was perfect for this little project. It compliments the leather and vice versa! Another example of a rounded butt cap, by the way! Best, Capt.

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12867 Loc: Central Florida	I gotta apologize, as the last #26 was posted in this thread earlier. I don't think this one coming up has been, although it was posted up "somewhere" when Sheldon or someone had a post on this forum, stating that the Randall shop did not make a Model #26 with the similar blade grind of the "Trapper", Model #25. This one shows that grind and was a limited run...but it was 100% Randall shop-made! Best, Capt.

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12867 Loc: Central Florida	Lastly: The handle was Randall shop-supplied green linen. I have to find the rest of my Pathfinders?? Hope this will do for now... Best, Capt. Chris P.S. I just got one with my last order from the shop. I'll dig it up, when I get a chance as see if it's worth posting...CCS Attachments 58831-#26-4(Gr.Linen#3)(Small).JPG (740 downloads) Edited by Captain Chris Stanaback (04/16/09 10:27 PM) _________________________ Capt.Chris Stanaback RKCC/RKCA Founder RKS #016 NRA Lifetime Member CAPTSTANABACK@aol.com WEBSITE: www.captstanaback.com

Warren_Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/25/08 Posts: 1456 Loc: Westhampton, NY	Captain, You've been quite busy this evening. Great display of Pathfinders. This was my skinner of choice last season on my 7 point whitetail. I especially admire the Cocobolo handle and the 26/ 25 blade grind. You gotta love that blade grind if you have a pulse. Thanks for posting some really great Model 26 Randall's. Best, Warren Edited by Warren_Polidori (04/16/09 10:35 PM)

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12867 Loc: Central Florida	Well...I dug this 'ol "Pathfinder" out that I just picked up from the shop last week.
