Somehow I have missed this thread altogether? The 25 is my favorite mod. of all the Randall's. I also like the 26 just about as well. I would be happy with a 25 with a 5 inch blade and stag with silver. The 26 with 4 inch and silver with slab sides sounds really nice also. I think either one would be a great addition for anyone's collection. I would even think about using either one of these.
