Benjamin199 Just dropped in Registered: 03/01/11 Posts: 4 Loc: Minnesota	My new Randall made Tom Clinton special is here. This is my first Randall to arrive. I do have a model 5-5" on order that I ordered directly from the shop back in 2008, I still have a couple years left on that one though. This one has a stainless blade, nickle silver curved forward hilt, collar and butt. Gary also picked out the ironwood for the handle. Ben Attachments ------ Description: Tom Clinton Special ------

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2123 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Ben Welcome to the Forums. The TC Special a great knife. Love the ironwood. You can't go wrong dealing with Gary. Have you decided what your Model 5 will have on it?

lunde Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/26/06 Posts: 844 Loc: San Jose, CA, USA, Earth	Congratulations, and welcome! I have a TCS with identical options that I got from Gary a year or so ago. It was originally ordered through his father, Tom, before he passed away. Gary also picked out and supplied the Ironwood that was used. _________________________ Ken Lunde RKS #5344 SHAG #1 #4-6-6-SS #2 http://lundestudio.com/RandallOrderingFAQ/

You can't go wrong dealing with Gary. Have you decided what your Model 5 will have on it? I ordered the model 5 with a nickel silver hilt, black micarta single finger grip handle, and a wrist thong. I am planning on the knife being a user. Ben

Gary also picked out and supplied the Ironwood that was used. Believe it or not it was your knife picture on this forum that helped me decide on ordering the TC special, and with the options I did. I think I may have even sent a copy of your picture to Gary as an example of what I was looking for (I hope you don't mind). I would love to learn the methods you are using for your pictures, every one of them is outstanding. I wish I would have known about Gary and this forum when I ordered my first knife, he is really great to work with. I placed an order for a model 25-5 in nickel silver with Gary last week.

I think I may have even sent a copy of your picture to Gary as an example of what I was looking for (I hope you don't mind). Of course, I do not mind. On the contrary, I am quite honored that the knife I ordered inspired your order. I have a #2-8" with the same options (with the two lines of blade etching that I specified, it has seven chargeable options) due in later this year, which I ordered at the end of 2006. This order inspired my TCS shown above. Quote: I would love to learn the methods you are using for your pictures, every one of them is outstanding.
