Pappy,
WELCOME!
And here's to using those Randalls!
As I said above, my #5-6" is my oldest "user" and my favorite!
Enjoy,
Tony

Patrick,

My compliments to you on your good taste. I also eschew wood handles - but like you I 'compromised' on my Presentation Grade Desert Ironwood Tom Clinton and #1 - 8". There is something compelling about the aesthetic and look of Ironwood.

Great day to you and thanks for the 'eye candy'.

Ron,

You never cease to amaze me with your in debth analysis of a Randall knife. Your great grandpa wasn't Sherlock Holmes was he?

Anyway thank you for the lesson.

Regards,

Rhett

Thanks, Rhett. I'm sure there's still a big gap between what I think I know about old Randalls and reality. I'm always delighted when I find out I'm wrong because it means I've leaned something. The shop was not consistant in doing things back in the "old days", so you can rarely pin down just when an old knife was made. In quantum mechanics there's something called "Heisenberg's uncertainty principle". In dating old Randalls there also has to be a "Randall uncertainty principle". I think I've mentioned before that it wouldn't surprise me if the word "circa" was invented as a result of attempting to date old Randalls.

Best,

Ron

Attached, I hope, are two pictures. One is of my Model 5's and the other is a few sheaths that came from Sullivan's.

Man, me too, great group. The No. 5 and 7 are my most favorite users. I have a "Brad" from the mid-70's that I have used for most of my adult life and seems to always be the one I go to when I am hunting or "out."

Here's a couple more of my #5's. Randall uses the best stag that money can buy IMO. The 7 inch #5 stag is a beautiful amber stag thats the color of toasted coconut. The 6 inch #5 has a very knarley piece of stag that I think is just awesome.
