Here are the knives of the week so far. It has been great rereading through it all while putting this together and getting ready for my start with the Non-Catalog Models. I look forward to seeing and enjoying many more knife of the week threads!

Jesse, Thanks for keeping this going! Here are the threads with clickable links.

I don't know much about computers but this list of "knife of the weeks" is a really great reference tool. Could it be brought to the top or have a permanent place on the site so you could easily access this material? Just an thought. Thanks

Great idea Griff.

Kevin

Something might be in the works to make this permanent here on the forum.

Kevin

Tom,
This whole thread is great, and I can't tell everyone how happy I am with it. Really great info and pics. I like what you did giving all the models there own links in plain English. But I noticed tonight that when I click on the RMK #8 link I am getting model #7 info. Hope I didn't miss a post and am repeating old info.

Joshua, no you are not doing anything wrong. I just tried to access the Model 8 thread too and got the Model 7 info. I also tried the model 13 and it repeats the model 12. I thought when we did the model 12 it was split between the smaller model 12's and then we did the 12-11 and 12-13's?

Help may be on the way.


Thanks,

Kevin

Ron,

Thank you very much.

Kevin

Thanks Ron, up and running. I do have one question: I believe the Model 12 knife of the week was split, didn't we do a second Model 12 knife of the week for the Smithsonians ans Raymond Thorps? If so, is there away to get that one up too?
Thanks,
Dan Snyder RKS #5537

Hey Dan. You're really making me earn my moderator's keep

Take care.

Ron, just making sure RKS gets its money worth out of you
Thanks,

Sorry but rival forums shouldn’t be posted or offered on this site. No matter how innocent the intent!
Thanks for understanding.

See Ya, Chief

Please post your photos to the Knife Of The Week!

I am starting to repeat myself. Of course at my age I can do that. I can also hug all the girls with out making anyone jealous!

How about adding a link to the Glades Hunter thread?

Thanks for all the cool knives. I hope you keep doing knives of the week so I can broaden my horizon concerning knives.

Huge THANKS to Kevin, Jess & TTB for the great job done!
It's very helpful to whom like to be update with this kind of ... madness

Hi All,

I was just thinking a link for RKS club knives would be nice.

Josh

Is it possible to add a page for the new Randall #28 Woodsman?

Thanks

Peter

My understanding is that the "Knife Of The Week" idea was initiated on the old forum by Sheldon Wickersham. Regardless of how RKS forum members feel about him, it is appropriate to acknowledge this.

More importantly, with regard to the "Knife Of The Week" threads on this forum, we should think of them as a community effort. I personally find them to be an incredible resource. For example, when I get the "bug" for a particular Randall knife model, one of the first things I do is to explore these threads to see examples of the knife with various options. And, once I obtain one of these knives, I make an effort to contribute to this community effort by posting photos of my specimen, in the hopes that it benefits others on the forum.

Ken,

Your understanding is incorrect. You should confer with your source. It was Ron Mathews not Sheldon Wickersham that had the thread on the other forum. I started The Knife Of The Week thread with Ron and Sheldon's blessing on this forum.

Let your head clear a little more next time and get your facts straight.

I have been told by sellers and collectors that they appreciate my efforts to make this thread preeminent as far as an educational tool for contemporary knife collecting. Just as Jim Parker's "This old Randall" for earlier models.

Kevin

And it is indisputable that we all keep it going with photos and descriptions of the exquisite examples of American made craftsmanship which we admire, collect, use, give as gifts, treasure, and pass along as family heirlooms.

Thank you, Doug.

And, thank you, Kevin, for pointing out that Ron was also involved in this on the other forum, and no doubt others were involved, too. Thank you, too, for carrying this idea over to this forum.

My main point, though, was the second paragraph, and Doug's post reinforces the idea that it was intended to convey, specifically the "community" aspect of these and other forum threads:

Kevin is a Brother & a Friend to me & since i can't respond in the "bad" lounge, were we now know what the limit is there! Another thing to point out is that most if not all the folks mentioned above who started this thread, here or else where, no longer post or are not allowed to post here at RKS anymore! Yep, be gone.

As the beginning of this & several other Good threads read: Knives of the week Model’s #1-#27 by Kevin Lough

maybe we should add the following.....Kevin was banned for life for being human. Guess the old saying of, "it's all in who you know", is true!

Be Careful Lunde........you've been starting a lot of good threads here too! Hate to see ya become a "second paragraph"!

See Ya, Chief

Peter,
Thanks for the phone call. I am not the computer geek around here, but the Model #28 link is showing now. Please take it for a test ride and let me know if it is satisfactory. I will get with Rick T. about the new 2011 "Non-catalog" models...to be continued...
Best, Capt. Chris

Today I'm adding my Model #8-4" to the knife of the week thread...it is Stainless Steel with the low 'S' blade stamp...brass hilt..great mellowed stag and a seven piece spacer stack.

Nice knife, looks quite new but the blade looks a little worn. has it seen alot of use?

Beautiful low s knife

This is the best for seeing the knives.

What does the 4-6 fighter go under? No tab for it.

Model 4 thread, that's the base model.

See "Non-Catalog Models" at 4-6 Fighter

Figured as they aren't ordered the same that maybe they should be separated. It's easy to look at it if you know the difference but might confuse others. Just curious.

I see that Cap has edited the index post (as of 4/23-21), but the link does not work..?

I tried...Rick T.? We need you!
Best, Capt. Chris

It is now fixed.... Post away.

Like the 2-4", 4-4.5", and 5-4"?

I'm yanking your chain, I agree with you.
