2026: Hopefully, it will prove to be good year for all. How 'bout this? We build a Model #26 for 2026? Different from previous build, which failed in the final "tally"...this one won't. The reason? No raffle or up-front-money will be involved.
Here's the deal: WE (the forum members) will design the Pathfinder the way we have always done in the past. I will help pilot the ship through the do's and don'ts...cans and cant's, etc.
I get the knife built and then I will offer it up for sale on this very thread. Not interested in buying it? No problemo: I'll sell it on my website or elsewhere..."but"...you members will have 1st refusal.
Ya' can't lose...and, perhaps, some of you will learn a bit more about the Randall knife, ordering process, etc...
Let me hear from you.
Happy New Year!
Capt. Chris

Great!
Thank you for doing this.
Starting the ball rolling with a vote for Stainless Blade.

Capt., that is a great idea, let us do it!

+1 for Stainless


The handle #25 is not compatible with the coolie cap?

No Coolie. Duralumin or brass or nickel silver butt caps but be careful not to build a "but-heavy" #26.
Hope this helps,
Capt. Chris

Let's get it done
Great idea Cap

Love the idea, I'm a big fan of the pathfinder.

It doesn't "have" to have a pouch sheath. Pictured here is one in Cocobola...(just sayin')

Getter Done. I'm with David on the stainless blade.
