Greg sure must admire Randall knives. Here is his latest, a Fireman with an 18 handle.

My question would be how well do they hold up? I know he brazes guard to ricasso, but is it soft solder or hard?

Is the tang a tight fit against tube wall?

My impression any epoxy on others such as Randall being only a filler to prevent stuck objects down in bottom, and believe even shop said as much.

He also quotes a far harder blade and wonder if chipping on hard used knives.

Trouble seems to be very very little out there for actual user reviews.

I like his stuff, and believe Harry Savage makes his sheaths, or did, and I very much like Harry's built-forever work. But I know far more about the sheaths over the knives.

I gave one of my grandsons a Wall Model 19 copy and he tried his best to break it but it is still one of his favorites.

aha.....THANK YOU!!!....we former boys know even anvils not safe around us in our youths.

Wanted to add that Greg does his own homage to many classics of my youth, and I admire his work, especially that great photo.

I made his sheaths for a little while.

Another interesting combo. #19 blade, #1 guard, #14 handle

Whoaaaaaaaaaa.... that's pretty damn cool Tom!

Nice belly transition to the choil on the 19 inspired blade. Looks well made.

I like his blade work. Tom, that stump gets around.

The Wall 19 I gave my grandson was stag slabs on a full tang. It was a well balanced knife. I don't have any pictures but will see if said grandson has it in Oklahoma where he is working.
