"Provenance paperwork was unfortunately lost."

The inference I take is this was made for someone that had something to do with the fight. Not certain who or why anyone with any involvement would have a knife like this made at all, much less with nothing but two names etched that anyone could have had done. No date, no location, no reference to the fight. Quite the reach.

Not to mention it has Frazier's first name and Ali's last name, makes no since.

This is would make W.C. Field's proud!!

Checking his feedback ratings, and what he sold to get the scores, a quick up-front look at the list doesn't show any Randalls. Lots of bric-a-brac. Did not see any other RMK's.
