Guess I'll post a picture of my 26. It's customer supplied brown micarta with black and silver spacers, stainless blade, brass hilt and radiused butt cap. The only thing it's missing is a wrist thong.

Tom,

Nice looking 26. I'm assuming that is Westinghouse Micarta and not Yellow Paper Micarta? I still have trouble with that color but then again I'm more of a stag nut. I wouldn't mind adding that one to my collection of 26's though!

Best,
Warren

Dan,

One of the few Micarta Randall's that I do have has a handle that has the same brownish color as yours and it was referred to as Green Canvas Micarta. I was told there was no mistaking Brown Micarta even though this type appears brown. Anyone disagree with that?

Best,
Warren

Warren, the person that I got the knife from said he supplied the handle material to Randall when he ordered it after he found out that Brown Micarta wasn't available. He said he bought the material online. I do notice that in the top picture the handle does have a sort of greenish look, but I think it's picking up the colors from the brass hilt and butt cap. If you were to hold the knife and see it in person there's no denying it's brown in color not green.

Dan,

I thought so too but was told that it was Green Canvas. Don't ask me why but it looks brown. Anyway nice 26. First one I've seen set-up with that material. Check out Knife of The Week Model 20. The Captain posted a Ward Gay like mine recently that shows the Green Canvas handle material.

Best,
Warren

Tom and Dan,

Beautiful knives!!!!! I hope that you both enjoy your new 26's and I know that they will do everything that you ask of them.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

Everyone that has seen it seems to think it is the old Westinghouse.
