General information on this model from the Randall site:

Model 16 "Diver's Knife" -- 7" blade of 1/4" stainless steel stock. Top cutting edge sharpened. 4 1/2" Black Micarta handle, similar to model 14 and 15. (Green micarta handle material available upon request.) Brass hilt, single or double, (please specify). Wrist thong through brass ferrule in handle. (Name etching, name plate, sawteeth and nickel silver hilt only extra features available.) Designed especially for heavy duty salt water use, this knife is as nearly indestructible as possible. Top of blade in top of hilt notched for thumb placement. (Wt. 14 oz.) A special wax impregnated belt loop sheath or nylon sheath supplied.

My summary: this is a near mint Randall 16 Diver's knife set up in the following manner: 6-3/4" stainless steel blade, single squared brass hilt, and a fingered black micarta handle w/lanyard. The blade is short by RMK specs by a full quarter inch and is unique in this regard. The upper edge is notched for thumb placement -- the upper edge at the tip is sharp. The knife is unused and with factory edges. The squared single brass hilt exhibits only very light handling -- all would buff right out in a heartbeat. The fingered black micarta handle is in great shape -- a bit thicker than normal with shallow cut fingergrips. (perfect for someone with larger hands) The sheath is a custom Sullivan made model A with an unused plain salmon stone in the pouch. Plain / baby dot snaps -- very nice. Stamped "Handcrafted by Sullivans Holster Shop" and "7" on the back -- the sheath was made for this 7" blade. (read as: this knife fits like a glove and the keeper strap is perfect) The sheath is brand new and in mint condition. 12 photos below -- the new Randall Made Knives carry case is included. This is a very fine, traditional looking diver that'll serve you well year after year. You're gonna love it -- good luck.
