Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12863 Loc: Central Florida	Welcome everyone! We are going to spend a couple of weeks building a Randall knife for the purpose of using it as a fishing knife! I have no idea what twists-n-turns this build will take, but I know what the knife "won't be". It is probably best to start with that. RMK models that we need not consider are: * Model #1's * Model #2's * Model #5's * Model #9's * Model #11's * Model #12's * Model #13's * Model #14's * Model #15's * Model #16's * Model #17's * Model #19's * Model #23's * Model #24's * Model #25's * Model #27's * Model #28's Besides these catalog models, there are a few non-catalog models that just won't work well. They are: * Model #12-9", #14 grind * Model #16, Special Fighter * Combat Companion * Fireman * Sergeants * Gamblers * Chefs * Cattleman * #4-6-"Fighter" That's the long list that "I believe" will not work. If anyone objects, now is the time to speak up! All of the above-listed models will work exceptionally well in other applications. We can certainly include them in a different build at a later date. Now: Let me hear from ya'll. What shall we build? Let's talk about this and come up with a short list in a couple of days. Thanks, Capt.

RamKingJC Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/12/15 Posts: 3083	I would vote for a #7 with a #6 Grind, or even a Denmark would be pretty cool!! .... since the #12 with the #14 Grind has been taken off the table... AND my back up vote of Cattleman... Edited by RamKingJC (04/18/16 10:34 AM) _________________________ James Caruso RKCC #CM008 rugermark2jc@gmail.com "First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire."

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12863 Loc: Central Florida	Model 5's just, plain have the wrong grind and blade shape to properly clean and skin fish, especially small fish! Ya'll know that I don't care what we build..."BUT"...(Wow: So soon?)...some people might read these archives some day and think we've lost our cabbage if we made an 8" camp knife to work on bluegills!

RamKingJC Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/12/15 Posts: 3083	Eric is right, Capt put it on the banned list, we missed that! #4-7'' or even 6" with a #6 grind could be VERY VERY cool! But really, #5-8" fit's in the go BIG or go home category, today, tomorrow, 10 years from now... whenever!!! lol Edited by RamKingJC (04/18/16 11:54 AM) _________________________ James Caruso RKCC #CM008 rugermark2jc@gmail.com "First comes smiles, then lies.
