I obtained a Model 22 and I was considering doing a catch and release. However I gave it some thought and I think it might be a keeper. Certainly not the most aesthetically pleasing knife but it feels good in the hand and is loaded with features. I’ve heard the shop has a “special” name for it but I don’t know what it is.

Anyway any thoughts on the knife or another Randall people think is underrated?

Jon

I only know it as an Outdoorman.

As you no doubt have seen, it has a very thin bevel. Probably a great skinning knife.

Jon,

It's called The Outdoorsman, rightly so. I've had several over the years and it's a really great blade combined with ALOT of included options. Probably the best overall value in a field knife Randall offers.
Visit the "Knife of the week" thread under Randall Knives for some discussion and excellent examples.
Good luck!

I know the model is called the Outdoorsman but Capt Chris mentioned that the guys in the shop used to refer to it by some other name. He didn't mention what it was though.

I recall "The Duck" being used in discussions. Trying to confirm somewhere.

Recalling further that the upswept blade resembled a Ducks Ass. Perhaps someone will confirm.

My vote for most underrated (as first post inquired) is the Buxton.

For all the folk looking for a general purpose outdoors large knife, but still quite portable, it is the naz. Personally think if it were cataloged, it would have swiftly become the #1 seller among troops back when the conflicts in the East ramped up. Very amicable to latest gear needing a compact heavy duty knife with good deep shearing.

As it is mostly a complete unknown to the public, but which could have skyrocketed to #1 modern military most demanded knife with better press, that fairly meets my idea of underrated.

I had a 22 for a few years. It was a great skinning knife. I gave it a one of my hunting buddies. He is a guide, and still uses it for skinning deer, moose, and bears.

And what Tony said Tom. Guess we're not popular knives.
Guys should see what they get in a 22 at no charge and then add options. You can get a stacked knife with a 22.
