Hello fellow Randall Collectors,

I am looking for the The "Mission Memorial" Randall Knife:
By Captain Chris Stanaback

I love the Nasa jade G-3 color like the finished one in the link:
http://www.captainchrisstanabackrandallknives.com/index.php?/main/show/328/0

If you got one in this color and want to sell, please let me know.
Of course I already contacted the Captain and asked him about the knife.

Thanks in advance,

Micha

Micha this is the one you are hoping to find.Mine isn't for sale
I wish you luck in finding yours.I feel confident Capt and other forum members will notify you if one turns up.Several of us will be on the prowl at the Blade show.

Yes, that is the one!!!!

BEAUTIFUL knife, and the stupid thing is, that I just saw that there was one for sale in March. A Randall collector/seller had one in stock costing $1400: https://severanceknives.com/2018/03/29/e...e-1/#comment-42

Two years ago I saw this knife for the first time on the Captains site and instantly loved it.

Thanks for your help!

Micha

Capt did them in Nasa Jade,Nasa Brown and Nasa White.
Some had nickle silver butt cap and others duraluminum.At first
the Jade was going to have a black sheath but got changed to brown
riveted.Also have the Nasa Brown but the white didn't trip my trigger.Again good luck to you.

Thanks Billy!

If I could only find the exact handle material...
That way I could at least have one build, only without the etching of-course. I hope that NASA wasn't the only one who was using that specific G-3.

There were only 86 of each made.Each one was marked 1of 86.
They did not go 2-3-4-5 etc all the way to 86.If you happen to find one it will be marked 1 0f 86.Don't let anyone try to slip a fake by you.

Billy,
They're a lot more scarce than that. Only 86, in total, including all 3 colors.
Best, Capt. Chris

Well, we all know Capt. is the king of handle material in his "stash", particularly this jade G3 stuff.
However, I've seen Gary Clinton list a couple of Model 10s with material that looks just like the jade that was used on the MM. He may only have (or had) material for slabs, but worth a phone call or e-mail to ask.
If you think that jade looks good in pictures, wait till you see it outside in the sunlight smile
