One-Off Model #25
$9550.00
This very early Model #25 Trapper is from the private collection of Greg Gutcher. Greg was the owner of Sullivan's Holster Shop and the sheath maker for Randall Made Knives for 35+ years. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece is a tour de force that involved six craftsmen and ten years to complete.
Of course the Model #25 was crafted by Randall Made Knives. I scrimshawed the Whitetail deer scene on the Elephant ivory center section. The brass hilt and butt cap were engraved by David Perdue. The sheath was crafted by Greg Gutcher and covered front and back in Whitetail deer suede leather. The front of the sheath carries a micro-miniature Trapper commissioned from Don Hedrick specifically for this project. I scrimshawed a deer head on the mini to tie it in with the full sized knife. Lastly before final assembly the miniature was sent to Ron Skaggs for engraving. This project was started in 1992 and this is the first time it's been offered for sale.

All natural handle materials are subject to checking and/or cracking under extremes of temperature and humidity. As such natural materials are not guaranteed.
We make every effort to mitigate the chance of ivory cracking during shipment. Once the knife is shipped we no longer have any control over it. The customer may specify by which method the knife is shipped, Ground (UPS), Air (Priority Mail) or Overnight (USPS). Extra shipping charges may be incurred for expedited shipping.
All the African Elephant ivory from which these Randall Made knife handles were crafted pre-dates the ivory ban of 1989. Additionally these knives, handled with pre-ban African Elephant ivory, qualify for the de minimis exemption of the current USFWS ivory restrictions and may be traded in interstate commerce. While these ivory Randall knives are completely legal it’s important to note there will be no more Elephant ivory handled Randalls crafted at the shop after July 6, 2016.
