I would like to see a photo of it next to the 14 you compared it to.

Not all 14s are identical.

Thanks to everyone helping with my knife. Here are comparison photos. The handle hight is the same on both the 14 and this knife. The width of the 14 is an 1/8” more. The notable difference on this knife is the distance from the back of the knife to the first finger groove which is an 1/8” longer and and is apparent to the naked eye. They could not add material and assuming all 14’s are made to specs, the knife could not come from a 14.

While looking at the knives, I do not believe it would be possible to eliminate completely the finger grooves, though this knife is 1/8” thinner.

Looks like a modified #14 to me.

As others have said, welcome to the Forum GRI!!
If you continue to hang around here I'd be willing to bet this will become by far your most favorite social media to land on. At least that happened for me for over a couple decades now (how can that be?!). Of course, come to think of it, it is the only one I've ever joined. Or looked at. But who cares?
AND DW does at times come across like a know it all about Randall Made Knives, BUT, ya' gotta' remember he is a Bostonian; and that in fact re: Randalls that he does indeed know it all.
Which kinda' explains why he can get kinda' riled about being called a "southern gentleman" but you can say whatcha' want all day long 'bout his mama & all you'll hear is "So!" (I think this is a clever retort in Boston). Also explains (kinda') why he predicts that the Red Sox will win the World Series every year....in every sport. If you, or anyone, challenges him on this you will soon learn that he also will use the same clever retort here.
If you do decide to hang out here, and especially if you do actively contribute, comment, post pics., etc. I'll bet you'll learn a lot, & love this site & the other guys (& gal) on it. AND, like Jim, you'll learn it's really pretty easy to get along & "best not to disparage anyone". Except maybe Warren.......or Ronnie.....or Crutchtip.
Because they don't care & they can take anything.
And as our good Captain (Oh man, watch out there!!) says.....
"Best to 'ya & I hope this is helpful",

It is possible that it was not originally a finger grip 14. Often the finger grips are deeper on some knives and more shallow on others. It could have been a single finger grip or Border Patrol handle also.
It is an interesting knife and looks like owner modified to me

Welcome to the forums

Yes, welcome (should have said that in my first post, sorry). Interesting knife. Given that Scott would definitely know if an RMK was made or modified at the shop (even as a one-off which do exist), I think we have to rule that out. So that would mean an owner modification. As for the differences with the "standard" 14, I've been told time and time again here that Randalls are hand made so individual knives can vary within the same model type. That's the best I can come up with here but then I am not anywhere close to having the expertise others on here have. Thanks for bringing this up.
