By way of clarification...

Sharpi posted his Model 26 Pathfinder that he bought at the Shop Sale.

I happened to buy the last one they had.

These are "mistake" knives in that a batch of what I was told were 25 carbon blades had been mistakenly trademarked with the "stainless" stamp. Rather than discard the blades, the shop decided to mark them with a "C" for carbon, and make up a few for each year's stock sale until they are sold out.

I welcome any clarification needed by DW if my information is not correct. Would also welcome, for the sake of future as-yet unborn Randall collectors, information on how many have been made with which handle materials and for which Shop Sales.

This year's batch have maple burl in the Model 25 handle configuration, and copper fittings. I assume the maple is stabilized(?) considering that Gary once told me to never send them any un-stabilized maple.
