I was scanning the internet tonight and ran across what I believe to be a fake. I am showing it here. Thoughts?

I have dealt with the seller many times and will vouch for him. One of the Model 5’s that I got at Blade (picture posted on this Forum) came from him.

With no disrespect directed to the seller, is this a fake?

Steve is as good as they get. If he’s got it listed, it’s good to go. Buy with confidence..

I have not seen any documentation to indicate Randall blades marked made in Germany....

RMK used Soligen (Germany) blades for many years, mid 50’s to mid 70’s? Not absolutely sure of the years.

It's real. Solingen blades were contracted by RMK in the 1960's and used throughout the VietNam war...and beyond.

Maybe you should invest in buying the book "Randall Made Knives", written by Robert L. Gaddis, and reading it??
