The other day, I was looking at Randalls on eBay and came across an "original" knife and sheath that is 100% not authentic. I contacted the seller, but he was certain it was the real deal. He offered to send it to the shop if I paid shipping. I told him that wasn't necessary and the knife could be easily verified on the Randall forum by several experts, long-time collectors, and Scott Maynard, Randall Shop Foreman.

I invited him to make a post or I would be happy to do it for him and report back. He has suspended the auction. The seller is a gentleman and wants to do the right thing. Let's give him the same respect.

Thanks!

Knife...and sheath are 100% forgeries! It is my understanding that many of these knives were coming out of Russia. I have no proof of this but have had a dozen or so sent to me, over the past 5-7 years.
Caveat Emptor! I wish I had better news for the seller but this is it.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris

Thanks Captain. I agree with you. Hopefully, Scott will chime in to concur with your evaluation for the seller's peace of mind.

Something happened - its gone now!!!

Cap is correct, from Kazakhstan, Russia

The seller removed it until he got more information. You can still view it in the link above.

Thanks Scott!
