I contacted the seller to advise what it was they had there, seller responded nicely and removed the knife from ebay, I don't think they knew it was a fake, I referred them to this forum for all the expert knowledge, and friendly talk about all things knife related .

They should be more proud of their work and use a proper stamp. I laughed hard when I saw this stamp!

Would have been a great Aprils fools day joke, if Randall announces that they are shipping part of there production to Pakistan. To get rid of the five year wait, LOL

Is this Damascus Randall legit or fake? I've never heard of a Damascus Randall. Here's the link.

Its been reported to ebay. I suggest others do the same to get the listing removed.

This looks to have been a fairly sophisticated effort, especially when compared to other recent RMK fakes discussed here.
The knife had a small white rectangular sticker on the handle with a hand-written notation reading "P-47". This was very similar to the stickers seen on Rhett Stidham's 'green catalog' knives (which all had "P" numbers). I perused the catalog (on Tune's website) last night, but did not see any knife designated as P-47.
The listing looks to have been deleted from eBay.

The knife is still listed for sale. I contacted them and he replied that he also has a "Model 8 trout & bird with Damascus, and the names of those involved in the project." But he would not give me the names. I am not interested in buying it, but I would like to learn more about any possibility of any authentic Damascus Randalls Made Knives. Is it possible it is legit? Or is there proof that there were zero Damascus Randall blades? I am just curious and looking to learn. Thanks.

The seller says he will be at the Pigeon Forge, TN, knife show this week-end. He would bring and let someone hold the knife there. Is anyone going that could look at the knife and maybe the other one he has? Here is his response when I asked if he had any provenance?
"I just came by this piece along with a Model 8 trout & bird in a Johnson rough back sheath in Damascus and have not had time to get any providence in written form, but hear is what came with the knives that around 1989-1990 Jack Criders brother who worked for Randall and Im sure Gary [probability not Bo] made these knives after hours on there own. Jay Parkers name was also connected and Im going to the knife show this weekend and may get more feed back on the story. If you had these two knives in your hand there would be NO doubt !!"

It was little more than a short thought that didn't go anywhere. So anyone, anywhere, or anytime, past, present, or future, stating that any damascus blade is being claimed as an RMK is full of s*^t. Period.
