Fantastic color in that fossil Eric. I'd be on the lookout for that one again.

Ron,

This from the 12 Knife of the week thread. A quote from Gaddis.

.The first order for this knife [Bear Bowie] was recorded in the journal on 6 February 1964, with nine more orders following during the next six months. This is quite impressive for one of the most expensive Randall models, especially when it wasn't even listed in the current catalog! These orders... appear to have been the direct result of one magazine article.... in the February 1964 issue of ArgosyMagazine....

So was this one of the first from eearliest vintage?

It may be Warren, but there is no way to know for sure. The sheath certainly looks like an early Johnson, but in 1964 it should have baby dots.

Best,

Well since this was a new blade these sheaths weren't laying around?

That's for sure. I can't think of any other model that sheath would be made for.

That's probably the only one of its kind Ron. What a wonderful piece of Randall history!
