My interpretation of Randal model 23, just off workbench

[godogs57]

I have always loved the shape and symmetry of a Randall model 23. I love the way the blade shape flows. I have made a few like this but have never snapped a pic until now. My "23" is made of CPM 154 CM stainless steel, which I feel is superior to Randall's 440C steel in their stainless models. She is hardened to 61 Rockwell, has a brushed finish on the blade and the 416 stainless guard, and is shaving sharp.

Like some of my other knives I have shared on here, the handle comes from an elk shed I found while hunting in New Mexico this past fall. Sheath is handmade of 9 oz Herman Oak tanned leather.

Hope you like, and thanks for looking. Have a great week.
