Stewart, Jackson, Bragg, Erwin, Dix, and Camp Williams) it was always my 1-7. I believe it to be the best of all. Not trying to incite discussion, it just worked great for me, every single time. _________________________ Wally

Tastes differ, skills vary, and needs diverge. Factor in wants, and there will never ever be an agreement", quote from said article. How true. _________________________ Take good care of the land, and the land will take good care of you.

pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7371 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	As always, it's in the eye of the beholder, or user. If I had to only have one Randall, it would be the Model 5-5 Bradford Angier in carbon steel. One that I have used for almost 50 years. But, my first Randall was a Model 1-7 as I thought I was going to Nam and wanted a fighter. Alas, I didn't go, but a great knife nonetheless. _________________________ Mike Allen RKCC-CM-086 True West Magazine Maniac Randall Collector Behring Made Collector Ruana Collector Glock Fan NRA- Life Member since 1975 mikenlu99@aol.com

Charlie, the owner and editor, also will trade knives for subscriptions and the back page always has some of his cheapos for sale. Interesting fellow and a thought provoking read.
