BEST pick up of the entire show!!! This is a club I am very happy to have you be part of!

Joe,
These #26's are 100% correct as this one appears. Mistakenly, one of the RMK bladesmiths stamped these blades "S": even though they were, indeed, carbon. The shop remedied this by etching the large "C" on them and they are "only" offered during shop sales.
Hope this helps,
Capt. Chris

thanks cap

Steve and Cathy White with Gary Clinton, and a Clinton Special.

You know you had a good Blade Show when you get home and unpack the knives that you had on display and you realize you have one more than you took. Forgot I picked this #4/4" from the Capt. the first day. Thanks to all the club members who took the time and effort to display a part of their collection. 18 people brought 23 display cases showing 215 Randall Made Knives of which 48 were NASA handle knives. Thanks to Lori for coordinating dinner Fri. and Sat. night. and also thanks as always
to the Capt. for pulling it all together.

I want one of the Big C Pathfinders but I understand they are no more to be had. I heard the blades were all built up. Maybe they will make it a Non Catalog model with out the C.
oldguy.

Not gonna' happen! The forging "mistake", once all of them are sold at shop sales, will be no more.
Sorry, Capt. Chris

You can order a 26 with a 25 handle, just won't be copper and I'm unclear if you can change hilt to reduced on the 25 handles.

They were run 4 separate times in batches of 10. They have all been issued.

Rob...and others,
Reduced hilt is, not only "doable", but you get a pouch-style sheath to boot!
Fantastic,
Capt. Chris
