The Sportsman's Bowie with a 14 grind was going to be my first ever order direct from Randall. It was going to have a maroon micarta handle, brass single guard and crow's beak buttcap with brass spacers. I just never pulled the trigger and placed the order. Then I saw this for sale here on the forums and couldn't pass it up. It's very close but I think I will place the order anyway and wait the 4 years. It will be my retirement gift to myself. :D

Until then, I will have this one to play with. Please correct me if I have misstated any of the options. Thanks.

Model 12-9 Sportsman's Bowie with Model 14 Grind, O1 Tool Steel
- Black Micarta Handle either Model 22 Shape or Modified Border Patrol
- Nickel Silver Single Guard (I really like the single guard look)
- Duraluminum Crow's Beak Buttcap
- Red, White and Blue Spacers?











Red, white and black spacers? Sorry, I'm color blind:cool:


As compared to my Model 1-7
