My favorite Randall Bowie is the Model12-9", "Sportsman's Bowie. A nine inch blade available standard in carbon steel.

This blade is also available in the #14 grind in either carbon or stainless, if memory serves me.

The #14 grind can also be paired with the Model 25 handle configuration as displayed in the "Non-Cataloged" Models fold-out.

This Model 12-9" is paired with its "cousin", the Model 12-8", Bear Bowie. This pair was one of the last ivory-handled Bowies that left the Shop before Randall stopped accepting elephant ivory.

Oddly enough, the ivory on the 12-9" cracked from hilt to butt cap in three months after delivery to my Bowie customer.

I strongly recommend the Sportsman's Bowie for heft and balance.
