Kevin,
I had hoped I could post a photo of my "user" #23 laying on a big catch of Caddo Lake Crappie. It was not meant to happen.
So here it is on the patio of the tomthbomb cave posed on a Dire Wolf fossil.

Tom, when you skinned the Dire, did it scratch the blade?

Dubie

Polishes right out of stainless steel!

Here's one with the same specs but stag instead of micarta

Graham,
And standard size butt cap (not "thin")...And standard butt end (not "rounded")...And "FL" stainless trademark instead of FLA stainless trademark. Other than that..IDENTICAL"!! Just jackin' ya', mate! It's very difficult to find 2 Randalls the same...even "close" to the same. I get a "boatload" of "pairs" of Randalls made up. Often, I have to make them again. Best, Capt. Chris

Actually this #23, is one that was ordered as one half of a pair. The other half is a model 14 and it is one of the 2 knives in my avatar. With the different blade, single and double hilt and variations in the stag there is nothing identical about them

It is hard to overlook the variations of what I call "the dip" (for lack of the proper term) on the top of the blade just in front of the guard. On Graham's and my #23 it is very shallow as compared to Ron's and Dale's knives. Their Randalls are older and it may be an evolution thing. It is a little hard to see it on the others posted here.

Here is a "fighter style" #23 I have with more "dip" than my gold #23. It is about a year old.

My other #23 and the only type of 12G repeating shotgun you are allowed to own in Australia

Graham, beautiful #23 but tell us about the shotgun!
Is that an original Winchester 1887 or a reproduction?
Let's see some more photos of it too! WOW!!!

Great 23's fellas, never owned that model before, something about that one in black & white, nice job Dale. May have to add one to the wish list, I only have 4 1/2 to think about it...
