Learning a lot from following the posts. Thanks, Captain.  Do you think it would ever be possible for Randall Made Knives to produce nostalgic/historic knives, possibly even as dealer specials? I just really like the Model 8 and have enjoyed learning more about the evolution from Litch Steinman through Gary Powers and on to the  current grind of the blade.  I think it would be of interest to a lot of people to have copies of the original Super Trout knife and of the Model 8 in Powers seat survival kit (now enshrined in a Moscow Museum) available for not only their collections, but also for their use.  I think the pattern and size are ideal for a wide range of practical uses.
Do you think such a thing would ever be practical?  Thanks again, enjoying the learning process.
