Chief Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/05/05 Posts: 5413 Loc: Baton Rouge, Louisiana	Quote: 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. Truly a Fine Work of Art!! Is or was such a handle an option? Rick ya sure described Mr. Leschorn's work right "carving" indeed. That Sitting Bull scrim has all my attention!!

Thanks for getting the pic posted. ~dale _________________________ Dale Dorris www.DorrisWoodCreations.com Custom Display Cabinets & Stands

Rick_Bowles Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/18/05 Posts: 1965 Loc: Virginia Beach, VA	Neither the false edge nor the commemorative style handle was ever an option. To the best of my knowledge this is the only one. This one-off was made around 1988 when the 50th anniversary knife was coming out. This is an example of Gary having an idea and carrying it to fruition. _________________________ Rick Bowles RKS #012 www.RBscrim.com N.K.C.A. NRA Endowment

Thank you, Gary Randall, for finding this image for us all to see. That's a special knife. Kevin _________________________ Genesis 27:3 BSC-002

Nice lighting, and overall clear shot. Nice job! ~dale _________________________ Dale Dorris www.DorrisWoodCreations.com Custom Display Cabinets & Stands

silverknife Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/15/05 Posts: 2079 Loc: Think Snow	Quote: Doug, you seemingly have a never ending supply of Mr. Bowles top notch work being showcased and if you keep on doing this before long his backlog will be as long as the shop. Jesse, if only that were true! I have been buying Rick's art since the early 90's, way before his incredible talent was well known. As a consequence I do have a lot of his work, but not anywhere near enough!! Regards, Doug _________________________ Doug a/k/a/ Silverknife RKS#1835 silverknife1@aol.com NRA Life Member
