Today I had a very lucky day!
Got 3 new wonderful Randalls!!!
I feel like it´s christmas today!

Here a first pic. (Will post better pics tomorrow in the sunlight!)

Peter,
These knives look familiar! As long as you have the #11-4" you'll always have good tradin' material with me! I'd love to have it. I can't see the 3rd knife too well.
Nice lot: Capt. Chris

That´s the 11-4 from Doug. A really nice piece of steel!
The second one is a 4-5 from 1972! (with compass)
And the third is a very nice Denmark Special!

Better pics tomorrow ....

I love the 4-5" style of.....those time!

Some more pics of my new beautys!

Very nice collection Peter. The #4 is my favorite.

Here are some pics of the documents, I got with that #4-5!

I like it very much and it makes it more interesting for me with these letters!

Very Very good

the denmark and 4-5"..............wonderful,

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peter,
EXCELLENT Randalls! I particularly love that #4-5". Congrats!
Tony

Very beatiful knives!

Peter,

That 4-5 is awesome.

Older Guys here remember I posted, some years ago, "The Three Tenors"...

Today, after receiving a well-done RMK #19, I can post...let' say...."The Three Monks"???

More happy as all three blades are..."FLA" blades!

Simply spectacular,exceptional knives,from sleepless nights!

The Three Monks!
A Religious Experience indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bravoooo!
Really very nice, Guido!

Awesome knives Guido as always :-)

Okay Guido, I've got to ask, which of these beauties is your favorite? They're all nice, but I'm really liking that Alaskan Skinner.

Guido
Great sets of knives, perhaps you could go for a matching model 8 also
I can't tell what material the handles are on the Monks though, ivory?

Peter

Looks like ivorite...or else it's "perfect" ivory, as I see no seperate figuring or coloring normally found on an ivory piece.
Guido: Where are you? ..and did our "guests" arrive yet?
Best, Capt. Chris

Looks like ivorite but I might be wrong :-)

Thanks alot Guys!

Tom my favorite is #19...than#23...than#11.

Beside my love for #8(OLD one) that TRIO looks more homogeneus...but I'll consider NEW style #8 for your tip!!

Material is new Ivorite; #19 is one year younger but, put among other two, doesn't show any different tonality...

Capt....Clay is due here on Fri.18th; a lot of chats and "WILDE HOG"...for lunch(...what else!!!)

looks good!

Once upon a time...I put together what I named the "Three Monks"...now some years after, they became a portrait of Old Times America:
Sioux-Crow Chief-Huron

Done by Roberto Bruci, Italian scrimshawed.
Handle are in NWI...I know...I know but tired to see broken Ivory.

Phenomenal scrim! Terrific set of Randalls, Guido. Just one more example of your "collection within your collection".
Best, Capt. Chris

Guido
Great knives and awesome scrim. It must have taken a lot of time to do that.
You have quite a collection

Peter

Beautiful set Giudo. True old style Americana scrimmed on knives with a rich history in America. Thank-You for posting them and giving us a glimpse of some fantastic eye candy today.

ps: I think they are giving that buffalo laying out on the plain a serious look see

Fantastic Guido. A beautiful set of knives.

Guido,

Nicely done! It's good to know the new ivorite is an option for scrim.

Best,
jason

Guido

Thank you for sharing. Those a 3 great looking knives. Your schrimshander does great work.

Simply Stunning my friend, simply stunning!!!

Hello Guido!!

What an eyecatcher-set!!

Great set Guido!

Absolutely stunning set, Guido. I love the Native American theme and the scrim is breathtaking. What fantastic artistry!!

Guido always has the best!!!
Beautiful!!!
:-)Rocky

Very nice. fantastic scrim.

Ditto on Jason.... I had not seen scrim on the new ivorite.

Great looking knives Guido!

Excellent work!

Thanks Guys,
It could be insane to embellish a knife with something worthy much...much more than the knife itself...but art is art and NWI has a plus: it doesn't crack !
Thanks again for your appreciation Guys..!
Jason, it's my pleasure to be a "tester" for RMK new material.

Guido you have one hell of a collection,Beautiful

If that set was all he had, he would have one hell of a collection!!! That set is amazing.

But it's not........
:-)Rocky

Nicest scrim I have ever seen Guido!

Would you consider making prints suitable for framing? I would like to buy one if you do!

Hope you are well!

I'm fine, thanks Chuck!
Design isn't mine...I have to ask the screemshander..!
I will let you know
Best
Guido

Thanks so much Guys for your appreciation but here the situation is very though and no more cash around.
Leghorn show is pretty new and few less tables this here; hope to meet some guys from the near American Base of "Camp Derby".
No specials for sell...just catalog knives. Specials for display only!
Hope to fill up some more RKCC applications.
See you later...alligator !

Ciao Guido, I wish you a successful show - and a lot of fun!
I know you put up some great stuff in very nice displays. I once had the chance to see that in Milano
We're all looking forward to seeing the pictures

I hate you having to work so hard putting those displays together, Guido........NOT!! Really will look forward to some more of your incredible pictures. Hope you have a great time, my friend.

Thanks a lot Jason !
It's an honor to represent RMK knowing the Family is behind you.
I really do appreciate that: please extend my personal thanks to all the Family.

Thanks a lot Guys for your input; even the Show will be a small one...I will do my best to keep the flag standing !
Hope to collect some more RKCC applications too.

Guido,
You stated: "Francesco was in Leghorn to present his last work as Editor of the new book about life and work of
James A. Schmidt "The great Master".

I just wanted to thank you on the forums (I already thanked you privately) for the fantastic birthday present of this outstanding book! It is the finest book I own! Your friendship is a treasure and your "Randall Goodwill" is as strong and anyone could ever ask for.
Thanks for the RKCC member applications! It's great to see our "international" contingency growing even stronger! I'll bring copies of membership apps and their membership card, along with copies of "KNIFE KNEWS", with me to the Blade show.
To everyone else who reads this: If you can, get a copy of this book! The artistry of Jim Schmidt and the "PHOTOS" have to be seen to be appreciated!
Thanks again Guido.
Capt. Chris
PS: What a great birthday present!!
