Randall Paring knife
In 1962 I was a junior at the University of Florida. One of the brothers who lived next door had a really pretty stag handled paring knife. I picked it up and saw "Randall" on the blade. "Where did you get a Randall paring knife?"
"Bo Randall is my next door neighbor in Orlando".
I have never seen another but I'm sure they are out there.

One of my first knives, maybe 1966-7 was an old style #8 Trout and Bird knife, and one of the few small stag handle knives. Maybe this was what he had? Seems like Bo Randall would have made a lot of variants before he settled on a design. To me a "paring" knife would not have had much of a tang because people hold them at various angles when peeling fruit and other uses. Is there any chance you could get a picture of the knife?
