Trip Wire,
Thanks for posting the images of your knife. I don't think I've seen that handle on a Randle before.

Do you know what year that knife was made?

It is the one piece linen micarta-over the hidden tang construction common to the Randle shop (stating the obvious).I like the single finger groove and the curve on the bottom going to the end. This aids in knowing where the blade is when you can't see the knife in low light conditions.

I guess a little homework on my part is in order.
