Looks like something out of the Stidham catalog, but I don't have a copy available.
Any info appreciated.

Cool knife Miles, and apparently a rare one if you, Capt. Chris and Mitchell haven't seen one quite like it before.
Is that a "2 4" stamped on the back of the sheath below the clip?
Are the handle pins brass?

I have found that most if not all the people that I have dealt with, in regards to Randall Knives, are stand up guys. I think it is Bo Randall's legacy.

Gents,
Thanks for the compliments. So there's the story I just remembered...
I was down in Tulsa about 4 years ago, stopped to talk to a guy behind his table with some RMK's for sale. I was just walking isles incognito, he didn't know who I was or anything. An early 11 caught my eye, so I asked him "hey, what'll you take for that one?" He says he's firm on price and that the knife was 'all original'. I said, "eh, looks like it's been shop cleaned to me"... trying to yank his chain a little and get him down on price. (it was a killer model 11!)
So he says..."well, I bought that knife from a guy named Miles in California and he said the finish was legit and original. Both of you can't be right."
Naturally, my butt puckered up a bit at hearing him mention my name, it took everything I had not to bust up laughing.
So my buddy I was walking isles with overheard the whole thing, looked over my shoulder and asked the seller "do you mean Miles Welze... that Miles?".
Reply: "yes, that's the guy"
My buddy's reply: "yeah, that Miles... he's a real asshole".... shakes his head...then he walks off down the isle.
Needless to say, I made him buy dinner that night.

After giving Capt. a hand today I was able to open this bad boy up! Took about 20 minutes cause Miles packages stuff like he's sending it to the moon... which is NOT at all a bad thing! A W E S O M E.... absolutely awesome knife. This knife is what should be considered Randall lore. way cool find Miles and a very nice pick up for the Captain. Today is probably the last time it will see the light of day so I am extremely grateful I got to see it in hand before going deep...deeeep... DEEEEEEEEP into the stash.

Nice!! It's a cool one... I have so much fun checking out neat stuff as it comes and goes. So many kit knives, so little time. Anyone have a list of all the kit models?

It's "NOT" a kit knife Chief! Just Miles attempt at humor!! I am quite happy to own it. Best, Capt. Chris I know it's not. I'm hijacking the thread since you bought the knife & it's done. I'm asking a Question that has nothing to do with your knife lol!

James Cave divers use a trail rope to find there way back out of a underwater cave. You might need the same thing to find your way out of the "Stash". Good luck

Whenever somebody mentions the captain's stash, I always picture the warehouse scene from the end of Raiders of the lost ark.
