Thanks to all who have participated thus far.

From Randall Made Knives: The History of the Man and the Blades, by Robert L. Gaddis, pp. 257-258.

Quote:

The idea of a scaled-down commemorative was replaced by that of adding a new style of drop-point hunter to the Randall line. The only drop point Randall offered was the Model 11 Alaskan Skinner from the early 1950s, and Gary had a new design in mind. It was one based upon a noncatalog knife made in small quantity in the early 1970s and was also similar to one his dad had made back about 1940 or 1941.

Once again, it was a case of forging a couple of rough blades, taking them to a grinder, and designing by removing metal and making sparks. While Gary did most of the grinding, Bo, Pete, and six or eight other shopmen gave their opinions at various times.

"We messed around with that for a couple of months, until we found something everybody liked," Gary recalled. After they obtained a satisfactory blade, they needed to come up with an appropriate handle to go with it. While crown stag was out, they still were after a pre-World War II look. They decided to try polished stag with leather and fiber spacers at each end, something like the earliest handles of Bo's back in 1938 and 1939. The first knife must have been assembled with brass hilt and butt cap because Gary said, "We had a weight problem with the handle, so we decided to use nickel silver on the hilt and aluminum for the butt cap." In fact the butt cap was made somewhat thinner than had previously been the rule on Randall knives.

The design of this newly completed knife appealed to everyone, so it was given the name "Trapper" and added to the regular line as the Model 25. It was the only new addition to the Randall catalog during the 1980s and was first offered in the twenty-eighth printing of the catalog in the anniversary year 1988....

Within the first six months of production, Gary got requests for knives with the rough outer portion of the stag, usually referred to as the bark, left in place. Handles made in this manner looked quite nice, so this became a regular option, although it wasn't listed in the catalog. Each end of the stag section on these handles was ground and polished so as to taper smoothly into the section of fiber and leather spacers. All in all, this gave then handle both a handsome appearance and a good nonslip grip.

About a year and half later, during 1989, another noncatalog style of this knife became available, which Gary termed "one with brass furniture." Here the knife had a brass hilt and thin brass butt cap, and the normal colored fiber spacers were replaced by ones of very thin sheet brass and black spacers. A Model 25 Trapper with brass furniture on the stag section yields an exceedingly good-looking knife. We should also mention that from the very first, this model has been offered with either a 5- or 6-inch blade made from stainless steel or the regular 01 tool.




From the current catalog:
Model 25 "The Trapper" -- 5" and 6" blade of 1/4" stock. 4 3/8 - 1/2" handle of leather and stag. Thumb notch and top of hilt molded for thumb placement. Nickel silver hilt. Dulalumin butt cap; Brass available upon request. Standard with stag. (Name etching, stainless blade and wrist thong only options available.) Drop point hunter blade. Handle construction is reminiscent of 1930's design. Model 25-5" supplied with pouch sheath. Excellent skinning, outdoors knife. #25 handle available on #26, #27, #12-9", #12-9" #14 grind. Nickel silver butt cap available for extra charge.

Lady and gentleman, may we please see some Model 25s?

Kevin

Nice 25's Kevin. That top one in the first picture is quite unusual is the leather dyed black? If so did they do that at the shop???

Here is a #25-5 scrimshawed with a Rocky Mountain scene by Rick Bowles:

Doug,
The 25 on top is my user. It has gotten that way from field dressing and processing about 20 deer.
That's a very nice 25 you have. Maybe we could go hunting sometime and you could dirty her up a little bit.
Thanks for posting.
Kevin

The 3 I have, all are fairly recent examples...each with a different sheath... the standard sheath with stone pocket, a no hone sheath, and a croc sheath.

Jesse,
Is the stag knife a 6" model? It looks to be about 1/2" longer in the pics.

Would the someting stange be the placement of the "S" and the Randall stamp seems to be a little deeper making it look like it is in an Oval? Still, nice "stag"

Yep, the Randall logo and "S" seem to be in a depressed oval.
Nice Knife!!! Like the matching hilt/butt cap.

Although that is different (the deep stamping) I was referring to the brown stitch sheath. I thought this was only from 98-99 but maybe this was one of the “in the back bottom of the bin” sheaths? I guess since the fire happed they probably used up all of the stock and found one from 10 years ago?

Jesse, didn't even notice the sheath was concentrating on the knife. But yes, you are right, brown stitched sheath is unusual for a current production model from what I've read and been told.

You are both correct. A brown stitched sheath was used because of the shortage and we also now have a new stamp that arrived with a pronounced "ring" around the trademark.

Tony-Every Randall you own is a one of a kind. There is not another one in the world exactly like it and each one is a work of art. But then I am probably not telling you anything you didn't already know.

Doug

This is an interesting re-handled RMK 25.(Not re-handled by the RMK shop.) It had a badly cracked ivory center piece, which was replaced with musk ox.

Kevin, I thought of a few more "R" words:
Remarkable! Resplendent! Renowned! Rehandled? Yes, rehandled but still a Raging! beauty. I dare say, and I do dare, that your Model 25 looks BETTER THAN the ones Capt Chris posted and they were great. Wow, what great coloration in the Ox horn. Thanks for showing all of us.

Below are photos of my three #25-6" stainless knives that differ in their furniture (hilt and butt cap) material.

The first photo is of the two with Brass and Nickel Silver furniture, respectively. The second photo is of the one that arrived today, with Pure Silver furniture and Sterling Silver and Black spacers.





I specified a no-hone sheath for the one with Pure Silver furniture.

Ken,

Very fine looking collection of 25s. I particularly like the one with the fine silver furniture (go figure )

How do you like the way it balances in your hand?

Regards,
Doug

Is that brass work something you got through the shop or was it done after the fact? Who is the sculptor if you don't mind me asking?

Really amazing.

Hi ...(what's your name Son??) :-) ...
Guido is traveling on business right now, so he probably won't see this at the moment,
but I can say that the beautiful engraving is not done by the shop. It's done after.
And I'm not sure who the artist is ... some one else here might know.
If not, I'm sue Guido will respond when he gets back!
Take Care,
Tony

Hi
Here is my new model 25 5 inch with mesquite burl center section, that I was lucky to get at the shop sale.
I am a big ironwood fan, but this mesquite is fantastic.
The guys at the shop did a great job on this one.
Peter

Leatherman,
Those are all vintage catalogs ... Abercrombie (both David and Abercrombie & Fitch), L.L. Bean
that I started to collect in the past year or two. Also some older Eddie Bauer (when they sold serious equipment) catalogs.
I'd like to help but it would be very time consuming to scan and post even one.
I'll try to continue to use them as props whenever I can.
Tony

I have been interested in the history of abercrombie when they sold real equipment since I discovered Randall Knives, I really enjoy history like that.

My father has tons of old life and farm magazines from the 40s and 50s and 60s etc but no abercrombie or anything of the like.

Keith,
Polished stag is only available from the shop as centers on #25 styled handles. I wish this question was posted in the "Ordering Questions" forum. (Got your PM...but I respond to emails faster and with better frequency)

Hi Peter,

congratulations on your new #25! Very nice!
We met last weekend at a show here in Germany and Peter told me he was waiting for the mailman...

Enjoy it - and give the vintage knives a break wink

Thanks guys. I am not sure what it would cost today. The Ivory runs the price up as does the sheath. Greg did the sheath. Great job as usual. The shop always does a great job. At least that is my O.

Subtle and not so subtle changes occur over time with certain Randall models. The Model 25 got a new spacer arrangement adding additional aluminum to the leather. Here is a comparison of old vs new.

Here is my new ironwood #25-5 from the fall shop sale, great wood, also a photo of my other two model 25's, one with mesquite, and the other polished stag. Great craftsmanship from the shop on all.

Very, very nice. While I have never used my 25, it still looks like a great hunting knife with the drop point. Beautiful wood.

Here is a recent acquisition. Stag is hard to beat on a knife imho.

I agree, Peter, and that's exceptionally pretty stag on that knife. Very nice!

This was a gift to me and one of my prized possessions. So, I didn't pick the micarta. I really like the way the stag looks between the stacked leather and that would be my preference. But, all 25's are sweet looking.

Your old #25 may not seem like anything special..."but"...(I know) that looks like a smoothback Johnson sheath it's sitting in! That's pretty special, seeing as how there isn't more than a few dozen of them!
Nice knife, Capt. Chris

JRB's & JSB's are all in a small window, although not the 6 incher. Greg started making the fine "pouch-style" sheath that we are all familiar with almost from the Trapper's inception! I remember the first time I showed Greg a Johnson sheath for a 5" Model #25 how surprised he was, stating that he didn't understand it, seeing as how he was on board from the Trapper's intro!
Nice knives, both of them, guys. Keep 'em coming.
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: Probably already on here somewhere, but here's a matching pair out of my "Stash" in dark jade micarta...CCS
