My Randall Fireman is one of my favorite Randall knives. Very stout knife.
Then I bought this Lynn Search and Rescue from Miles and wow!
5.25 inch blade of 5/16. Makes the Randall look diminutive. Already ordered another one as a full tapered tang with nickel hardware and ironwood. Thanks Miles!!

I wonder how far back the tang reaches on this one? If it is real heavy...I'll bet it stays stout and for a long ways toward the butt end of the handle.
Interesting design: Almost a "modified Tanto"...
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Doug
nice knives
If you want one over the top, look at the Treeman Ultra Phalanx
Here is mine

Capt:

Lynn told me the tang extends 3/4ths of the way back. The one he is making me will go all the way back and taper to reduce the weight.

Has a Chisel point on it. Probably could break bricks with it.

Peter:

You are killing me. What does it cost to come look at your knife collection?

Doug
If you are ever in the area, I will be happy to show you the collection for a beer

Jim Behring and his son James make some great knives and they can make you one to order

Peter

Doug,
That Lynn is a tough looking brut but the Randall Fireman is a much better
looking knife... in this Art Director's opinion!

Tony:

Agree but the one I ordered will be gorgeous in ironwood. Can't get the Fireman in any wood. If I could get Randall to build a knife for me it would be a Fireman with a 5 inch blade and more handle options. Would be fabulous.

Just dreaming'

Peter:

I would gladly pay the requisite entry fee (beer) to view your collection.

Thank God for this forum. Get to live vicariously through your posts.

I hear ya Doug!
Tony

So just cause I'm bored and Tony is a good sport....

First photo is Lynn S & R on the Left and Randall Fireman on the Right
Second photo is blade width of Randall in front of Hilt - 0.236 inches
Third photo is blade width of Lynn in front of Hilt - 0.326 inches

So if I have to use my knife as a pry bar, which one do I need?

Just havin' fun...
