New to me anyway...
It's actually one of the first Model #26's made - introduced and sold through L.L. Bean beginning in 1990; the Model #26 wasn't listed in the Randall catalog until 1993.
Approximately 375 L.L. Bean Specials were made, the first dozen or so having BEAN spelled out in capital letters; all Bean Specials had a 'P' for Pathfinder stamped on the sheath backside, instead of the '26' stamping used today.
A pretty basic Model #26 variant, they're a cool piece of RMK history nonetheless.
