Larry Ducati Knife Enthusiast Registered: 03/27/17 Posts: 47 Loc: Phoenix AZ	New member here. Hope this is posted in the correct area. I got this knife 2nd hand and don't know what model it is. The shape suggests a 26, but according to the Randall catalog, it should be a 4 inch blade-this is 3 3/8. The catalog pictures a sheath with a strap and snap-this is more like a #10, but not exactly. Did they make a 26-3? It's 7 1/2 inches overall, stainless blade, nickel silver hilt, maybe walnut handle that flairs out at the end, wrist thong. Any thoughts?

W Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/09/16 Posts: 5791 Loc: Central New York	Looks like an early Pathfinder to me. Eric had a knife in a thread here not long ago looked the same. Seem to recall early ones were not marked. _________________________ Warren

Eric Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/18/15 Posts: 1668 Loc: Michigan	It is not a #26 in my opinion. I believe it is a GTR Special, 3 1/2” blade of 3/16 stainless. Approx. 4” handle.. Nice Knife! _________________________ Eric

tunefink Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/05 Posts: 4068 Loc: Bambalam	The GTR has more of a hump on the back near the hilt and the shape is wrong for the 11... I vote for a version of a #26. Just my $0.02. _________________________ Always, buying, selling and trading. www.randallmadeknife.com

desert.snake Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/25/13 Posts: 1160 Loc: the other side of the earth	There is a small hump. Maybe they started to do it as a GTR, but they overgrind the tip and had to redo it into a small version #26? In any case, the knife is very cool!! _________________________ Si vis pacem, para bellum
