David, I didn't know that you had such disdain for the pathfinder. Thank goodness I found out in time. I had this one packed and ready to ship for your birthday.





Maybe a nice Cinderella lunch box with a Prince Charming thermos bottle instead?

Regards, Doug

We sure do Dubie! Maybe it has something to with practicality.

The black handled one is a couple years old has a many a squirrel and a couple of deer under its belt as well as quite a bit of general use. The 26 is a great size for most anything.

That indigo #26 always turns ny head when I see it posted.

Steven, that "Indigo" #26 was my first Randall...a gift from little brother Jere. It is an Early Pathfinder, and that's why the grind is different. It's also smaller than the later ones.

You're right about the skinning capabilities. Chief thinks they're perfect for foreskin removal.

There are a bunch of fine model 26s here but this one would take the cake for my money. This thing is too cool for school!
This is a prototype Pathfinder. The false edge was a consideration during the R&D. The handle is clearly a mini commemorative style with an ivory center section. I scrimshawed Sitting Bull on this piece and Tom Leschorn carved his ivy pattern in high relief on the hilt and the plate which he inlayed into the crown. A big thank you to Gary Randall for digging this out and taking the image.
