On my phone, Rob, “somewhere” in mid-Fla. Enjoyed the visit, for sure! I’m in the middle of nowhere, between Eustis, Fl. and Clermont, traveling the backroads. If everyone votes their preference, I will follow up with some completion by weeks end. Thanks Crew! Stay sharp, Capt. Chris

Ok Crew: We're building a Randall Model #11, Alaskan Skinner! Great choice, to be sure. There are "4" different versions (blade length) of Alaskans. All but the 3 1/4" have the instantly recognizable thumb notch cutout, atop the blade, just in front of the single hilt. To note: * 3 1/4" & 4" are forged from 3/16" bar stock * 4 1/2" & 5" are 1/4" stock * Carbon steel (O1 tool steel) is standard * 3 1/4" knife comes standard with a stag handle * All others come in leather as standard It's entirely up you you crew members, as to "which" we shall make! Let's here from you...(& Happy Fathers Day)! Best, Capt. Chris Some examples below:
