Let's "Labor" to build the right knife!!

Anything goes! Let's hear some ideas...yes?
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris

I'm in.

Not saying if I would be in or not "But" this year was the 50th of our landing on the moon. A model 17 would be very a befitting tribute and a model not done before to my recollection. This is a knife that I'm not sure has enough depth for options.

Hmmmmmm Well hunting season is right around the corner. Maybe a 8-4 bird and trout but with some different options? Maybe white ivorite handle with black spacers and nickel silver hilt? Tool steel blade old school grind and black sheath?

The nicest Model 8-4 I had was SS,NS squared, Stag(no charge), 21 Crow's beak, Wrist thong. Still have it. I like the top sharpened for cutting off fish heads. I used one all summer as a fishing guide and loved it. It was just a standard 8-4.

Pap

If we did a model 17 like Warren suggested, could we do customer supplied scales on it? Some NASA g-3 would be a nice tribute.

Now yur thinkin'

OK...before we go any farther on down the line...There are "no options" to be had on a Model #17..."except" sheath choice and etching...period! So...if you do, indeed, believe that we really did put a man on the moon, we could always do a raffle for one at a later date...but a "build"? There's nothing to "build" for a build...just sayin'.
Ideas in line with hunting season sounds cool,,,or Thanksgiving,,,or Christmas...Etc. Etc...Keep 'em coming.
Best, Capt. Chris

Capt, question for you... if we were to do a carving set would the options count as 1 or 3 since there are 3 pieces? Just checking but it may be an option for us to consider.
Walker

Old 8 fur me
Sharpi

I'm with sharpi and pap. I like the old style 8. Having a hard time with this one though- a number 8 should be coming up soon for me.
Walker

A carving knife can have 5 options..and so can it's "cupboard-mates"!
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

Thanks Capt. It does.
Walker

Here’s an interesting thought.....if it was a 17 could we specify that the shop build it like the originals. Not with that funky blade they now sport.

Model 8 would be good. I like that model. I had three of them, but gave one to a buddy and my #1 daughter now has my other two.

"Specify" to your hearts content... Maybe the next build you can "specify" that we build a 1940's #1 or a 1960's #18 etc. not like the funky blades we "sport" today...wth is that?!?

Well said, my friend...well said. NOW: So far we have a suggestion of building an "old-style" Model #8. Let's do a "ROLL CALL VOTE"! Vote for one please:
A) Yep!
B) Nope!
NOTHING is decided yet. If you vote "Nope!" please add "your" model suggestion.
Thanks, Capt. Chris

DW,
Ya'll must have some funky junky in yo trunky

:-)Rocky

A) yep
Walker

A
Sharpi

A) sure,why not?

For hunting, I've always found the smaller knives most useful.
The model 8 is very cool.
But "B."
I always thought a Mod 20 or 21 tricked out would be nice.

Gary

I have to go with B

Pap

B) I'm okay with the hunting idea but I'd prefer a Denmark special or gtr.

A) Yep!

B I like these two suggestions !

The blade on the current 17 is funky looking......simple as that Scott. My comment wasn’t said to start an argument with you or anyone else. It was a legit comment. How cool would it be to build a 17 exactly like the early 17’s. There are probably many of us that would want to own a 17 like that. As for your comment about building a 40’s Mod 1 or a 60’s Mod 18 well they haven’t changed Nearly as much as the 17. But yeah I would like that too. Would you have not been such a wise guy if I had said “awkward” blade instead of “funky”?

B.
In the spirit of QB Nix winning his first game at Auburn against the Oregon Ducks, lets go hunting some quackers.
A hunting knife, Model 8, is great, or a Model 7, or another smaller "Duck" Knife.

Just checking in to make sure I qualify to get in on this one?
Thanks.

If so, how about a 11-5 or 8-4, stainless blade,nickel steel single hilt, border patrol, micarta, compass

I'm up for pretty much anything, guess that's a "B".

B

(B)

OK Crew:
"B" has a lot of action, some even with recommendations. How about this, in the interests of moving this build along. Let's have a
"ROLL CALL VOTE"! For for one...and one "ONLY"...(& 1 time only please).
Capt. Chris
A) Model #8-4" (Exact model to be determined)
B) Model #7-4 1/2" or 5" (Exact model to be determined later
C) Other...& you must "list" your "other" preference or your vote doesn't count.
CCS

Here are a couple of photos, just to aid in your decisions.
Thanks, Capt. Chris
1st: Model #8-4" (The more "current" if you will):

C , GTR Special

2nd shows a couple of Model #8-4", "OLD STYLE" (or "x"):
Thanks for lookin', Capt. Chris

Please notice the difference between the 2 Model #8 "blades"...with the "old style" being a Bowie clip point and the Modern being a straight, clip point.
Best, Capt. Chris

Not to stir things up...just curious.

Can a sharpened Top Bevel be gotten on the Model 5?

Larry

Below you'll see the 2 blade lengths on the Fisherman-Hunter (Model #7).
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Larry,
Yep!...and to keep everything "fair & balanced" here's a couple of photos of The "GTR", also called-out.
Capt. Chris

There was a mention of The Denmark also. 'El gusto es mio!
El' Capitan'

C. GTR

A) 8-4

Love the utility and portability of RMKs with smaller blade lengths.

Bob

C-GTR

Can we get a model 6 grind on the Model 7?

Yes, we just did a Model 7 with a #6 grind not long ago. Nice one too.

Pap

The Captain's Stash is wide and deep.

Any of these would be nice to do a build around.

I better read all the posts again, and maybe vote for a model that I don't have.

Larry

C) Denmark

We did two!

B) Model #7-4 1/2"

Tony

A!!!!!

Yep--for A.

I have one stuck away, but a gussied up Forum Build would be great.

Larry

OK Crew:
Not a great response to this whole build? Huh? I guess we'd better have a real quick vote before I exhaust anymore time on this baby. BTW: #8 leads the GTR by a score of 7-4. All others are "off the board". Right now I need to have a vote to find merit for building "anything"!
...What say you?
1) Yes: I'm not sick of 'em.
2) Nope: Had enough for now
I need more than 10 members to get on board or I, along with these builds, will take a vacation from pursuing this venture.
Best, Capt. Chris

1)--Yes. Let's build something.

Larry

Yes, keep building

Pap

1) Yes build it! Hope to get an 8!

I appreciate the time and effort it takes you to put these builds together, from beginning to end.

And it’s been said before, these threads/ builds are a valuable resource for the ins and outs of optioning out a Randall model.

An enthusiastic “1” from me. Yes!

Thanks, Gary

1-I'm in!

1) Yes: I'm not sick of 'em.

1 for all

Sharpi

What Sharpi said. Just like the Mouseketeers or whatever.

1). I’m onboard, Captain.

B) Model #7-4 1/2" or 5" (Exact model to be determined later

1) I’m on board for the build as well.

1) I'm on board.

Good morning,

A 8-4 is fine with me.
Thanks.

Thanks Cap!

1) Yes: I'm not sick of 'em

Tom Flynn

1. Not sick... well, Rephrase.... not sick of them (builds)

Build something!

1) build something! Not sick of these for sure.
Walker

1. Build away!

The builds are always educational.

Thanks Capt. for steering these 'construction projects' to conclusion.

Bob

1) Yes: I'm not sick of 'em.

1 I'm all in if it is a GTR !

OK..CREW,
Glad you're all on board for this one...or should it be "these"? How about this idea: A PAIR BUILD? We could make:
A) RMK Model #8-4" & 8-4", Old Style
..............OR..............
B) RMK Model "GTR" & "DENMARK SPECIAL"

WE could have 2 members gettin' a new knife, instead on 1! What say you?
Capt. Chris
PS: The pair would have to be made with RMK "shop-supplied" materials.

I like that idea.

Right now it's all tied up @ 9 votes each. I'll give this until tonight and let's see where we are. Granted, I didn't ask for the roll call vote but, nonetheless, we're tied at this point!
Vote, if you haven't.
Thanks, Capt. Chris

The old saying is "Vote early and often."

Larry

A) all the way

Sure looked like a roll call vote to me but .... consensus opinion among folks I know (especially my wife) is that I don't know my butt from a hole in the ground.

OK Crew:
Time for (after some good ideas posted) a "ROLL CALL VOTE"! I want you to vote for one of the following:
A) Matching #8's
B) Different #8's
Thanks, Capt. Chris
*NOTE- Both Model #8's, if matching do not have to include options listed previously. They can, for example, both have carbon blades and reduced hilts. Nothing else is decided as of now...CCS

A) Matching 8's.

Tom Flynn

Well OK then! I guess that vote is history. We'll build them to match! Let's start with selecting what type of steel to be used. Carbon is standard, on both models, and does not take up any options. Stainless will:
A) Use up an option
B) Raise the cost by $65.00
Let me hear your thoughts.
Best, Capt. Chris

Carbon Steel

B- SS blade

Pap

I prefer carbon generally despite the Florida challenges to that type of steel.

SS blade

B) Raise the cost by $65.00

Tom Flynn

Stainless

Well, the trend is Stainless.

And I think of being "NBS" myself (Nothing But Stainless).

Guess I will vote for Stainless, but have not thought about the other options, and might want to have that first option back later.

OK Crew:
We're building matching Model 8's and the blades will be stainless steel! If we use stag handles, we still have 4 options should we need or want them. Consider the possibilities! Let's hear from you.
Best, Capt. Chris

Red/blue micarta.

Rob has a great idea- stag.
Walker

Ivorite with black spacers

Stag

Red/Blue micarta

Stag-standard no charge

Pap

Maroon Micarta.

Yes...Stag is standard...saves an option if enough vote for it.

Now, to complicate it...Cattleman handle on the stag? Probably not allowed...but if I were to win the draw it would then match one of my favorites from about 2000.

Nickel silver squared hilt

Thumb notches, red and brass spacers,brass single hilt,compass.

I can't recall seeing a Model 22 handle in stag. Not saying they don't exist or even that I have never seen one, just that I can't recall seeing one.

Thumb Notches
Nickel Silver Hilt
Wrist Thong

Stag handles, with a crows beak butt are not "#22 shaped". What you see is what you get.
Example below:
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

How about the exact Model 8-4 that I described above, but in a Johnson pouch sheath.

Okay, okay! Got it!

Thanks Cap for the pic's; the Crows Beak does add weight on the back end.

Tom Flynn

Tom,
In "brass", you are 100% correct. In duralumin...not so much. Now "crowding of the hand" (especially a big mitt like I have)? That's a different story. It would look quite cool, of that there is no doubt. Let's see where the bread crumbs lead us??

OK CREW:
Looks to me, opinion-wise, we have a solid preference for the following being "added" to the build sheet:
* Randall Model #8's
* Stainless steel
* Thumb notches
* Stag handle
* Nickel silver hilt
...all those in favor (or not)...ROLL CALL VOTE!!
A) Yes
B) No
Thanks, Capt. Chris

A) Yes

Capt. Chris--

No...but almost.

My two cents worth...

This combination only uses 3 of 5 potential options: Stainless blade, Thumb Notches, NS Butt. (Stag is standard.)

Suggestion: (1) Stainless, (2) NS Hilt, (3) Thumb Notches, (4) Wrist thong, and (?) (5) NS Butt Plate.

This small knife does not need any added weight on the butt end to balance out a heavy blade, so the Butt Plate would be a compromise—IF we don’t want to include a compass like several posters suggested.

So, I will hold off on voting for now.

Larry

Yes

Pap

I'm going to go with a "yes" here but .... does this mean that we are done or can we still use those 2 remaining options if folks want to do that?

Yes
Walker

Larry
I'm not sure I see the butt being added. I'm I missing it?
Walker

Yes

Yes. Then we can add 2 more options.

Walker--

You are right!

I misread the Captain's post, thought it said NS Butt since it came last in the list.

NS Hilt is great.

Larry

Yes

B) No

you missed "wrist thong"

A. Yes.

OK Crew,
We are "only" voting for a "yes" or a "no" for adding these 2 options to our build. Nothing was mentioned of being finished. We can add more if that is the majority decision.
Best, Capt. Chris
PS: Added to say that, "both" brass & nickel silver butt caps will make these little knives "extremely" butt-heavy! (Just sayin')...CCS

If majority votes "yes", that will be 3 options used. Then id like to add a nickel silver butt Plate and wrist thong to finish off our 5 options. Then add all black spacers and a waxed sheath.

Agree with Nate Dog.

Larry

Yes

Yes

Yes

This is etched in stone. What else?
Capt. Chris

* Randall Model #8's
* Stainless steel- (Option #1)
* Thumb notches- (Option #2)
* Nickel silver hilt- (Option #3)
* Stag handle
We could:
* Leave it alone and build it already! (The knives would come with red, white & blue spacers
* Add aluminum & black spacers
* Add aluminum & red spacers
* Add a duralumin butt cap
* Add a crows beak butt cap
* Add a wrist thong
* Add a compass
...OK: You get the idea...Let's make our "plans"!

The knife is set (Knives: Pardon me). I have already ordered them. We did not discuss the sheaths but I had to get my specs in and didn't want to wait another month! They will be coming with standard, tan leather, sheaths but I can tweak that if it is not to either of the winner's liking.
Here's what you have decided:
* Randall Model #8's
* Both the standard catalog version as well as the old style
* Stainless steel
* Thumb notches
* Nickel silver single hilt (not reduced)
* Aluminum & black sheath
* Stag handle
* Wrist thong
Thanks for getting these completed in time. I know the winners will be happy happy, happy! The numbers are coming next! I will post 100 numbers (1-100) and you can pick your own, first come-first served. These 2 knives catalog at $1160.00 (+) USPS "Priority" mail and insurance. The cost, per number will be: $12.50 each..."OR...3 for $35.00.We need to fill all 100 (which we usually do) so the drawing will be announced when the final number(s) is chosen. You can pay for your numbers by calling me (407-436-1113) with credit/debit card info, mail me a check or money order or (as most do) via Paypal to: captstanaback@aol.com

I will mail a check today.

If any of my choices are already taken, please select alternates.

Have a good show.

Larry

He'll calm down...once he had ribs AND bread in hand... maybe...

Capt. Chris--

I missed a beat, and doing a quick scan don't see whether the drawing will be for a Matched Pair, or for two knives to be drawn individually.

Larry

Larry, it looks like there'll be two winners, unless you win twice!

Seems we lost the head of steam we had built up.
Hope someone claims the remaining numbers soon.
Walker

Seems we have lost interest also. Unless we fill the number slots, we cannot have the raffle. I'll give it another week and then, if the numbers are still left un-claimed, refund everyone's $$$
Sad, Capt. Chris

How many are left?

25: Refer to Page #26 of this build for the #'s...
Thanks, Capt. Chris

I'll take 45, 46, 47 and 61, 63, 72.(looks like they are still available).
$70 - PayPal to you Chris.

Gary

I’ll take 3 more:
3, 39 and 97
PayPal on the way.
Thanks, Capt.

Capt
how about listing the numbers taken with names and the numbers left I'm good for another 6 pack
It's Columbus Day and that Ship has sailed?
Sharpi

Capt. - I see #3 was assigned to Escapement. It wasn’t shown as taken when I picked it. Please pick another number for me. Thank you.
Ross

I will take three more, 14,15,22
Thanks
Salty

OK Crew,
Thanks for your responses! We have 13 #s left. I'll draw the 2 winners on Monday night (Just before Monday Night Football)! Page #26 of this thread shows the tally, as of "RIGHT NOW"! There's still time to toss your cover in!
Thanks, Capt. Chris

So I´ll take another 3 chances! Will send Pp. right now!

Congratulations to:

#1 pick. oh, by the way (#17) was an un-picked number! Just sayin'..
Thanks to all for your support. We'll do it again after the BMK build (still to be determined)...Stay sharp!
Capt. Chris
1st pick gets 1st choice!!

Congrats to tha winnahs!!!

Congrats!

Good Build and Thanks Capt'

Enjoy the KNIVES Winner's!!!!!!

Thanks, Capt. Chris.

These builds are fun to do, and you carry the burden of steering all of us through the possibilities and do all the real work!

Either of these will be a great knife to own, but I think I am partial to the "Old Style"...just saying.

Larry

Holy Cow! I'm so delighted and surprised!

I guess I'll opt for the "Old Style." (Sorry Larry)! Can't wait to see it. (Will be my first Model 8 Old Style).

Thanks so much! Gary

Congrats to the winners! I'm sure these will be awesome knives.
Walker

Congrats to the winners! Enjoy your nice new blades!

Congrats!

This was a good build. I think the participation was "fair" but not "great". If BMK decides to do their build I will wait until the build is complete before going forward with another one over here.
I know there are lots of "social media" choices these days. I understand everybody drinking the kool aid "BUT" (Been a while) nothing compares (with regards to RMKs) to knifetalkforums, considering the historical references and education, along with inter-action from "all of you".
Please consider this when making your media choices...and thanks for your participation in this build. There'll be another one real soon...and I have an idea for "By-God, Boy-Howdy" good one!
To the 2 winners, just email me your shipping instructions, full name and a contact phone #, text # &/or email address. I'll take care of the rest.
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris

Great build Cap. You lucky winners are going to love these!

Congratulations to the winners! Chris, I decided to take a break from this build, because I was afraid I might win, 3 in a row. I can't wait for the next one!!

Great Build
Congratulations Winners
Thank you Capt
So is Old School Old
Or can Someone not so fortunate order one?
Sharpi

Congratulations to the winners!

Salty

The knives are "in"! I'll get photos posted today.
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Sorry for the delay members. I've been slammed of late! Here ya' go! Beauties, exactly the same and totally different at the same time. Welcome to the world of custom RMKs!!
Both Larry & Gary: Please contact me about shipping arrangements.
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris

Dem's nice!

Good to talk with you.

Stay strong.

Larry

Very nice for sure!, congrats to the winners
Walker

Lucky guys! What a nice set of #8s.

I had a similar pair, but my #1 daughter/#3 kid likes them. She pulled out her new model 8 at a field camp, and had all the boys asking to see the “Randall”.

Cheers,

Alan

Boy howdy! Them's knice!

Great pair!

Tom Flynn

Boy they look sweet! Can't wait to get that old-style beauty there - my first! Thanks, Gary

Ps. Stay safe, everyone.
