RARE OPPORTUNITY! Randall 15 with Hollow Handle - 01/31/17 10:53 AM

Changing up my collection a little, so here's an opportunity for someone else to enjoy this beauty.

Randall Model 15 with 18 hollow handle. Stainless blade, rare Bowie clip option, two buttcaps (white Marbles compass in one, no compass in other), RBJ sheath with original stone and paracord. Knife and sheath are in basically new condition. There is a little darkening on the throat of the sheath. Knife is beautifully made - everything lines up perfectly. Knife is featured in "Randall Knives: A Reference Book", by Sheldon Wickersham, page 137.

As for price, one of our esteemed Randall dealers pegged it at $2500 based on a similar knife that he sold last year. He believes about 25 of each were made (14s and 15s). Includes free shipping (CONUS only), zippered case, letter from Sheldon Wickersham, and a surprise gift inside the handle. Survival manual and pocket knife not included.

PM of email if interested.

Thanks,
Tom

Great knife! But I'd give in and use it. Glad it's not a 12-9 blade.

Don't be bashful guys. I'm sure Tom wouldn't mind if you bought it and used it. ;-)

I didn't use it because everyone knows ALL hollow handle knives break as soon as you cut anything. grin

That's a funny one. Everyone knows Hollow Handle Randall's are Talky Tina's. Indestructible.

Good luck with the sale.

All BS aside can the handle be knurled by the shop now or is that even a after the fact option?

Re: RARE OPPORTUNITY! Randall 15 with Hollow Handle - 02/01/17 07:32 PM

I'll respond from someone in the machining industry;no. It would require special tooling fixtures to ensure that the handle rotated perfectly concentric during the knuring process and wouldn't be economically practical or guarantee the results desired.

WOW! I can't believe this is still available! If I didn't have so many irons in the fire this week, it would be coming to Florida!
