First post for me and just checking in. Been a knife guy since I was a kid and don’t have a lot but collect what really appeals to me. Also into outdoor life including ocean fishing and shooting. Bought my first Randall and received it last week. It’s a new 25-5 stag which I purchased from Buxton and couldn’t be happier with the knife and Buxton who was first class all the way. I look forward to doing business with them real soon as I’m already planning my next Randall purchase.

As it turns out I only had the Trapper for a week before I shipped it back to the Mothership. It had to go back to Randall so I could get a southpaw sheath for it. It came with a R handed one and need a L. Spoke to Jason Randall and he was very accommodating and a nice guy and said send it on in. It was pretty hard letting it go after having it in hand but it had to be done. I look forward to getting it home and also look forward to hanging out here and learning more about Randall’s and other things. Thanks

Welcome to the forum!! Congratulations on getting your first Randall Made knife. I hope you use it. Even though we all have a few safe queens, all of us at one time or another have used our Randalls. Please advise if you ever have questions. Welcome aboard.

Thanks for the welcome guys. To answer a couple questions, the 25 will be more of a BBQ rig accessory then a working knife but I’m sure in time it will see some limited work. I haven’t posted pics on any website since the P- bucket extortion attempt, it left a real bad taste. I might again and try to figure out posting here. Pretty sure a #1-7 will be next.

Welcome to the forums! And what a great choice for your first Randall!! I may be a little biased on the 25's myself...

Thanks, it was love at first sight when I saw one some years back and it had to be the first on my personal Randall list.

Just saw the pic you had there. Holy Smokes, you’re not kidding!

Welcome to our humble abode, DeltaMike.

I have a few Model 25-5's coming in the door early next year.

Here's a Model 25-6" similar to Scott's.

Mine has the ivory micarta insert.

Thanks for the welcome. Three guys just on this page from the Island. Been reading the site for a month or two while I was shopping for it and could see it was a friendly, helpful website. I’m glad to be here.

Update- shipping message informed me that my 25 arrived at RMK Friday morning and within an hour I get a call from Jason R. Informing me that they received my knife and it turns out that they a sheath for it that fits properly but it was too late to ship it back to me thst day because the USPS already was there that day and he told me it will on it’s way back home to me Monday morning. Stellar,prompt, polite service from RMK a pleasure to do business with.

That 6” is nice and I actually went back and forth in my head for some time between the 5” and 6”.

Got my 25 back today from Orlando along with its new southpaw sheath. Super fast turnaround and it’s much appreciated. Thanks to the gang at RMK.
