It's true:
My buddy, Gene Beal, salvaged this 1" X 1" X 3" piece of cocobola out of a fairly large piece I bought at the Knifemaker's Guild show, this past summer right here in Orlando! It was perfect for this little project. It compliments the leather and vice versa! Another example of a rounded butt cap, by the way!
Best, Capt. Chris

I gotta apologize, as the last #26 was posted in this thread earlier. I don't think this one coming up has been, although it was posted up "somewhere" when Sheldon or someone had a post on this forum, stating that the Randall shop did not make a Model #26 with the similar blade grind of the "Trapper", Model #25. This one shows that grind and was a limited run...but it was 100% Randall shop-made!
Best, Capt. Chris

A shot of the blade, with my usual "fuzzy" focus, from the other side !

Continuing this "fuzzy affair", we have a close-up of the blade!

Lastly: The handle was Randall shop-supplied green linen. I have to find the rest of my Pathfinders?? Hope this will do for now...
Best, Capt. Chris
P.S. I just got one with my last order from the shop. I'll dig it up, when I get a chance as see if it's worth posting...CCS

Captain,

You've been quite busy this evening. Great display of Pathfinders. This was my skinner of choice last season on my 7 point whitetail. I especially admire the Cocobolo handle and the 26/ 25 blade grind. You gotta love that blade grind if you have a pulse. Thanks for posting some really great Model 26 Randall's.

Best,
Warren
