75th Anniversary Knife - 10/20/21 12:30 PM

So, just curious BUT anybody getting any “You Won!!” letters?
It’s awfully quiet here lately, so, just wondering.

I did not put my name in. On the two Randall Knives Facebook pages I belong to, there have been a half dozen or so people, “got their letters.”

Duke...I was wondering the same thing....days without posts....not typical....looking like a dead site...
I did get my notice, and am grateful for the opportunity....I didn't want to post up too early...didn't want it to look like bragging...it's just the luck of the draw....I'm quite stupefied as why no others are posting, surely more that 3 here were selected.

I received my invoice on Monday, and have been pretty busy.
I am thankful that I got picked and am really looking forward to having this highly collectable knife in my collection.

I’ve been way too occupied with family illness/covid stuff for awhile and away from internet anything. BUT, I’d wondered about this lottery and don’t know anybody including me, all 6 of us, who’ve heard nada’.
Think I’ll still be hopeful a couple more days though. The mail can vary in delivery one place to another.
Daggone fantastic congrats to all letter recipients thus far!!!

The "Congratulations" letter that came with the first invoice has a line "Knives will start shipping starting January 2022 (subject to change)."

Peter--

Nice presentation.

Do you have a standard 17 to lay alongside it?

Re: 75th Anniversary Knife - 02/01/22 12:53 AM

May seem like a dumb question so excuse my ignorance but why did they wait 8-9 years after the 75th anniversary to make the knife?

This was covered in the Blade Show meeting last June.

Two of the more experienced shop crew retired, and then add another year (and change) because of the COVID excitement.

I love the look and design of the 75th Anniversary Astro.
I have a couple questions about the design of this knife.
Randall's 75th Anniversary was in 2013, and the lottery was announced in June of 2020. Approx when did the design of this beautiful knife begin, and when did they actually go into production?
Also unique for this knife is the turned stamp on the ricasso.
The choice of the vintage American flag was an excellent one too. To me symbolism of the worn look of it reminds me of the hard times our great country has been in the past few years.
A beautiful knife and as always Randall Made Knives great quality.

Regards, Richard
