WTB: Randall #12-9 w/14 grind & single hilt

Never posted before but would like to buy and own subject knife before I die. Any help or suggestions...thanks

Jon, I would suggest ordering exactly what you desire from Stanaback. He can have it in about 10 months or so. You get to make all the choices......

Thanks Tunefink
for that information

Jon,

I have a Model 12-9"-#14 grind, Sportsman's Bowie with the Model 25 handle, due for delivery in October/November 2018.

Unfortunately, not a single hilt. It will have a nickel-silver forward-curved hilt.

Just consider it as your "Plan B" Sportsman's Bowie. Delivery is expected in about four months.

If interested, send me an email.

Jon,
They're a bit hard to come by. The last one I built was about 3-4 years ago. It featured a stainless blade, an "N-25" handle with NASA Off White G-10. I'd be happy to order you one, similar to the one below and, of course, using stag.
Best, Capt. Chris

Hey Jon,

If you do it with a single hilt, you might want to consider a square top single hilt.

Coach

Here is a pic of my 12-9/14 with a flat top single hilt. The pic is not that good so I'm also attaching a pic of my 1-8 and both of my Sasquatches all with a flat single hilt.

So good point; who says Sasquatch has to have a DH? Nice looking pair Coach.

Here's one of the 2 I had Doug make for me. It is the closest thing, in the Randall line-up, to a Marine Corps "Bolo"! (One got sold to the "Adobe Guy")...forgot his name. Mine has a squared top and #22 handle shape, in leather, which (of course) means a Crows Beak butt cap
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris

Jon here’s a nice one. You would need to grind the top of the hilt down then you would have a single hilt......but you would have to grind me down to get it.

Super sweeeeet, Ronnie. Really

Thank you Duke.

Thanks Buck, but I'm after the single hilt.

Thanks to all who replied and especially for all your offers to help. I think going with the Capt on a special order will be the best option. Thanks to all again.

Jon

Good choice jon! The Captain sells at catalog price without having to wait 5 years.

Forgot to mention, but if I were you, I would ask the Captain for a piece of custom Sambar Stag. If you look at pictures of the 12-9 #14 grind on the internet, you see a lot of differences in the Stag. You never now what you are gonna get from the Randall shop. I never seen an ugly handle, but there are a lot of differences between them. Custom supplied Stag costs extra, but if this is your dream knife, I would do it.

Agreed! There are not many of us wanting to do a Mulligan on that substantial of a knife!! Get the STAG!!!!

The 12-9 #14 grind is also, the biggest knife Randall makes in O1 tool steel and Stainless Steel. I love the model!

I have two of these for sale.

Jon, I have just posted on the #12- #14 Grind in the "Knives of the week" Models 1-28, with my comments on recent usage and feed back if you are interested.
Hope it doesn't confuse the issue for you.

I use all my Randalls (all S/S) and even though they are expensive, no regrets at all as users.
#7 5" + #25 5" + #1 6" + #5 7.5"+ #18 7.5 " #12 9" (I think that's all?)
Cheers, Wayne
