Please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong about any of this...
It's a #1 with a forward curved brass guard, desert ironwood handle (?), and a single finger grip shaped handle. The blade is O1 tool steel. The sheath is stitched with white thread. A relic of the mid 90s, I think:
The questions:
The sheath has holes punched in it for the stone pocket, but it's obviously not there I don't see signs that a pocket was ever there. If it was, and it was removed, it was done very carefully. I'm told that sheaths were available this way from Randall, but haven't found a definitive answer to this. Any help?
The butt cap is flush on the end. It looks like it is attached with a barrel nut and then finished flat. The current catalogue doesn't show this as an option. Is this a common thing, or maybe something that was done in the past and discontinued?
Anyway, I think it's a heck of a nice knife.
