New member here. Hope this is posted in the correct area. I got this knife 2nd hand and don't know what model it is. The shape suggests a 26, but according to the Randall catalog, it should be a 4 inch blade-this is 3 3/8. The catalog pictures a sheath with a strap and snap-this is more like a #10, but not exactly. Did they make a 26-3? It's 7 1/2 inches overall, stainless blade, nickel silver hilt, maybe walnut handle that flairs out at the end, wrist thong. Any thoughts?

Looks like an early Pathfinder to me. Eric had a knife in a thread here not long ago looked the same. Seem to recall early ones were not marked.

It is not a #26 in my opinion. I believe it is a GTR Special, 3 1/2” blade of 3/16 stainless. Approx. 4” handle.. Nice Knife!

It is a Model 26 with a short blade. Early Pathfinder sheath.

The GTR has more of a hump on the back near the hilt and the shape is wrong for the 11... I vote for a version of a #26.

Just my $0.02.

There is a small hump. Maybe they started to do it as a GTR,
but they overgrind the tip and had to redo it into
a small version #26?

In any case, the knife is very cool!! smile

TB, Wouldn't a early #26 have a different blade grind.
