TAH Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/26/05 Posts: 2382 Loc: USA	Surely, this has been discussed before, but I failed to find it in Search. Wasn't this booklet discontinued in 1989? Why was it discontinued? It doesn't seem that it would cost much to produce it. If nothing else, I would think that anyone who owns a Randall fighting knife would agree that the nostalgic value alone would be worth the price. _________________________ Tom RKS #4233

Rick_Bowles Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/18/05 Posts: 1965 Loc: Virginia Beach, VA	Tom, I talked with Gary earlier today. He said that they discontinued the booklet because knife fighting techniques had evolved to such a degree that he felt the booklet was obsolete. _________________________ Rick Bowles RKS #012 www.RBscrim.com N.K.C.A.

TAH Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/26/05 Posts: 2382 Loc: USA	Rick, Thanks for asking Gary. Too bad they couldn't update it or just offer it as memorabilia. It's a neat piece of history to go with any Randall fighter - new or old. _________________________ Tom RKS #4233
