That is a beauty!
I really like the looks of the single hilt Randall’s…

Thanks Mick.
I have several with a single hilt including a #12-13 Thorpe, large, and small Sasquatches.
I have a Tom Clinton Special ordered with a single hilt that should be in soon.
I like the single hilts myself.

Coach here is one in Black Micarta. Gary told me not many have been made with a single hilt.
Happy Fathers Day!!

After looking back at Gary’s email, it may be another 4 weeks. Hopefully before the 4th of July. The shop usually gets further behind around the 4th.

Thanks Pat.
That big Sasquatch is what I use to filet BIG catfish (10 lbs or bigger)
The “heft” really helps when you are hacking through rib bones that are thick as a pencil.

Hey Steve:
I’ve got Doug’s phone # and address if you need it. There ain’t a nicer guy and his wife, Jeanette is sweet also.
We dropped in on them last Summer while we were in that part of the country. I got him to sign the sheaths of both my Sasquatch’s.
My wife ordered my #1-8 while we were there.
