Randall Made Model 11-4.5 Alaskan Skinner Thuya

4 1/2″ blade of 1/4″ stock.  The top of the blade in front of the hilt is notched for thumb placement. Brass single hilt and smooth coolie cap. Approximately 4 1/4″ – 4 5/8″ handle with finger grooves. The original drop-point blade. Designed by Tommy Thompson, noted Alaskan guide, in 1952 for big-game skinning.  The point is dropped below the top of the blade to prevent cutting too deeply through skins when used point first.
