Which would you choose...and why? Photos give you extra credit. (Not really). Let's share our thoughts.
Thanks,
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris
PS: Not just "camping"..."hunting"...etc., etc...
Example:
RMK Model #27-5 3/4" below.
CCS

Model 5-5" with the Bradford Angier options, in carbon steel. Been there and used mine since 1975

Pap

Very sound knife, pappy.

I don't even know, it's a very difficult choice

Bradford Angier and Trailblazer magnificent!

For me it's more like this - #12-6 Stainless WT Stag Compass FG

something like this, here in the photo there is a lack of WT and SS

Pappy's choice is 100% perfect for what Brad used it for. He also "camped & Trailed" in the N.W. and Yukon territories..."not" the S.E in it's 100% humidity!
Look: This thread is more information...&..."TRAFFIC"! Let's "all" voice an opinion. The TB that I posted was simply a "start-up" for this thread. Although it would make a pretty damned good multi-purpose "user"...there are equally as many "others" for a variety of chores.
Bradford Angier's Model #5, with a 6 inch blade will "do" a helluva' lot. Let's show "more" do-all RMKs.
Example below: #12-6", Little Bear Bowie...
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

Here (below) is my "Brad", specs exactly the same as the original: Bradford Angier, Camp & Trail.
Stay tuned for more-to-come from everyone,
Capt. Chris

I'm real fond of 12-6 LBB's

Re-post and image of a Model 28. It is a good all-around knife.

Larry

My first LBB

I have a few that I like.
My Sergeants model is about perfect. SS, green micarta, and compass. I use it for trout fishing, camping, and all duck season.
Another is my model 4 6 inch standard. I carried this knife all field season. It does everything I need it to do during the season.
And if you want a big knife. My model 14 standard does the job. I will be carrying it again during this up coming bear season.

Alan

I have a 28 Woodsman in green micarta/brass. Its the one I grab when I am going anywhere outside. The combo of 3/16 stainless, lighter weight, durable micarta, and wrist thong make for a hard to beat knife for the outdoors.

Got bit by the ' issue again.

Rod--

Rugged.

And compact.

Larry

Rob, that is a sweet spec on that 15.

I was wondering what was going on with my post, so I had given up on it.

Thanks for helping me out Rob!

This Nr. 15 would be my "one" Randall. It will do everything I would reasonably ask from a knife.
And pretty too.

Walnut burl Border Patrol handle, Nickel silver guard and butt cap. Waxed sheath.

Very attractive 15CDT.

Some ironwood is too plain, but yours is really nice.

Larry

Yes, I agree Larry, but this is Walnut burl. It doesn't darken with age, as Ironwood does.

Well, heck!

I coulda, shoulda read your post more carefully.

I still like it! Beautiful wood.

I tend to like ironwood, so when I saw your knife, it jumped right to the front of my mind.

Larry

That's one of the nicest 15s I have seen!

Model #15's/CDTs fall under the radar most often but it's a great choice! A little more "Butch" than a Model #5, it would do well for a multitude of duties/chores. Here's one outta' my "Stash" that, once again, was ordered as a stock knife...years ago.
Yeah...Right! Once I laid eyes on it...it was headed for The Captain's STASH! Greg Gutcher made me this natural leather hi-ride to go with it. The whole rig doesn't suck!
Let's see more examples ( & more models) of your choice for an EDC!
Stay, Sharp,
Capt. Chris

My model 5. 6 inch Bradford Angier.

Nice Tony!
Best, Capt. Chris

Hard to choose, My #15 CDT W/Compass has been my choice since I received it, my time hunting continues to lessen.

Craig--

Beautiful knife!

These 15CDT's do look a lot like Model 5's on steroids.

Larry

Of course, my 1st choice is a Model5-5" carbon steel Bradford since it was my 2nd Randall ordered in the fall of 1974 and received in the Spring of 1975. I am not a fan of the top blade sharpened, except for the Model 8 and 19 for specific duties. Also I like the Model 5 blade width and weight. It's been the best all around ,do it all, knife I've ever had in my 81 years on this earth.

Pap

Pap--

Understand about not wanting the top bevel sharpened.

Anyone wanting the heavier blade of the Model 15 can ask that the top bevel not be sharpened, otherwise it is done automatically on that model.

And agree that the Model 5 is a good all-around knife.

But there are just too many models to choose from, and all are good for what they are designed for.

Larry

Beauties, all of them!

Double W--

Too pretty to use.

Larry

Here's Double W's knife. I re-sized it to just under 400kb.
Best, Capt. Chris
