Wally, thank you for your service. Great Randall. Can you tell me what the badge is with bayonet on it? I don't think I've seen one like that. Thanks.

Wally,
Nice setup! I would never question your service..."sanity"? Yes...Service? Never! Great rig and collateral equipment. I love photos such as this. Creative and informative, it is "all" (in my opinion) Randall related.
By the way, I am not ignoring your post about the very "special" sheath (along with the rare knife within) that I aquired at the Blade show. I have to interview the original owner and put the article together for the "Knife Knews" before I post any images on the forum. I picked up another historically significant, super-rare Randall knife & sheath combination at the Gator show this year! I am working on that story as well.
Anyway: Long-winded, but thanks for what you do, what you did and your great choices in knives...and wives!
All the best, Capt. Chris

The badge is a US Army "Combat action badge" It basically symbolizes that the wearer has been under enemy fire, not as an infantryman. Created in 2005, as an answer to so many calls for a combat artillery badge, combat armor badge, etc...

I don't mean to sound bitter or resentful in my rant about the military. It's been 10 years and already memories fade. I guess it's just something I'm trying to put behind me. Sorry if it offends anyone.

Thanks for the info. I'm not knowledgeable enough to buy for investment yet. I just buy what a like a tell my wife that its a good investment.
Wally.
Great photo of a great knife/sheath combo. Thanks for starting this topic.

Knifanut. Alright! I don't wanna laugh too much Mitchell, as I recall, you're bigger than me. :^)

Knifanut may be more accurate.....!!!

Came across this combo sheath on Gary Clinton's table at the Blade show. Hatchet and Model 20.

Picked it up just because I thought it was RMK leather:

Mike,

I think Gary had an oddball on his table that Tom picked up last year.
So I'm looking at your photo and wondering about the keeper strap on the right side. Looks like a Mudbone to me?

I found these pictures that look like a Johnson sheath that I've not seen with a flap. The knife is kind of odd too. Do you think they are legit?

Johnson sheath with a Ruana type flap. The 10-3 is just as cool. Nice rig. I am not an expert, but I like it.
