Looking at picking up a Randall and struggling to decide here.

Knife will be a user so the 5” is honestly more practical, not to mention I’ve got a Chris Reeve Pacific which..actually it’s a 6” blade. Thought it was 7”.

Ok so that 14 is pretty dang big at 7.5”.

Also torn on the handle, finger groves or no finger groves? Leather or mica?

Usage will constitute outdoors type stuff and pretending I’m Arthur Morgan.

Nice! I'm a fan on that single hilt/single finger set up as I am the original! Too many options

I have a similar configuration in my model 14, without the saw teeth (saw teeth/no saw teeth).
I wanted the bigger blade of the 14 but the profile of the Diver. Mine has the nickel silver single guard with thumb notches and Border Patrol grip w/black micarta. It's a beast of a knife!

Very nice! I admit my main reason for wanting the 14 was the double-stitched sheath.

You win! 😄

ETA: is that green or faded black micarta? Did you order that? Would love to hear the story.

Is that Randall’s take on a Scagel or is that a Scagel?

Treeman knife. Made by Jim Behring. He does a lot of Scagel styles.

I have had both and I prefer the Model 15 as it is easier to carry. I’ve tried the full finger grip, Border Patrol style and the single finger grip handles. Out of the three. I like the single finger grip the best.
