I'm really in neither of these categories, but I do have a DS. Perfect pre-ban elephant ivory handle, N/S guard, R/W/B spacers. If ever anyone wanted a shorter #3 with an exceptional grind, this model is it. ~dale

An original Denmark Special from my collection. See article below also from RKS newsletter #59 which includes an article from newsletter #5 by RKS Florida member, Brad Shepherd. Also notice the unusual side draw sheath that some of these early knives from Denmark's Sporting Goods had. Regards, Rhett The following article is from Randall Knife Society newsletter, #5, dated January 1990. Written by member Brad Shepherd. I saw Brad at this years Knifemaker’s Guild Show, as he is a new member in that guild and makes a very nice knife. The knife shown here, I traded for at the Solvang Show in April, from a custom knife dealer from Massachusetts. The knife blade measures four inches long and is of 1/4 inch stainless stock. The Johnson sheath is one of the custom designed horizontal sheaths and “custom” is written , in ink, on the back of the sheath. The handle is black micarta and there is a black faced compass in the butt. There are nine spacers making up the typical seven spacer arrangement of this period. The two outside red spacers, are usually counted as one, each end of the spacer arrangement. The hilt is nickel silver. Also notice that the “S”, denoting stainless, was stamped separately from the Randall logo. In 1995 the RKS club knife was the “Denmark” blade. Today Randall offers this knife in 3/16 inch stock, 4-1/2 inch blade, as a Non-Catalog Model. In 1990 when the article below was written, the Denmark Special was not available from Randall. /// Rhett Stidham RKS Newsletter #5 January, 1990 BRAD SHEPHERD / THE DENMARK SPECIAL Many central Floridians and all of the Orlando area sporting community is familiar with Denmark’s Sporting Goods. Located for many years in downtown Orlando, Denmark’s was the hub of activity for local sportsmen of all persuasions. It was not unusual to find three generations shopping together for their hunting and fishing supplies. Indeed two generations of management could be found tending the store on most days. The familiar landmark founded decades ago by Pete Denmark and Walter Hudson is history now. The old wooden floors and racks of lures and walls covered with trophies have been replaced by jogging shorts and tennis rackets. But, beside the memories, a few tangible reminders are still around. One piece of memorabilia that will remain for a long time is the Randall made “DENMARK SPECIAL”. The Denmark Special was commissioned by Pate Denmark at the urging of “Little Walter” Hudson. “Little Walter” is the son of the co-founder. Little Walter goes about 250 and could bench press a Ford Bronco if he put his mind to it! Pete and Walter thought their customers deserved a Randall specifically designed for Florida use. Their theory was that the ideal Florida hunting knife would be small, rugged and simple. A drop point skinner with solid metal all the way to the tip was their choice. The taper grind on the top of most Randalls is all right for thrusting but could weaken the very area that had to take the force of splitting the backbone of a fresh kill. After a few hours going over their requirements with Bo Randall, the Denmark Special was born. The Denmark Special has never been cataloged and is actually considered by the Randall Shop to be a special grind rather than a custom design. The basic style is that of the Model 7 without the top bevel. The result is a strengthened blade that retains the flowing grace of the original. The handles were available in both stag and micarta. The spacers were alternating red and white. A typical specimen is shown in the photo above. According to Walter, the Denmark Special was first offered in 1975. It was kept more or less in stock exclusively in the Orlando store until the business was sold in 1988. No records are available but Walter estimates approximately 195 were sold in the last 15 years. The majority probably still reside in local closets and gun cabinets. An interesting optional feature on the Denmark Special was a custom designed horizontal sheath. Little Walter felt this sheath, which laid along the belt line provided added protection in case the wearer fell from a tree stand — an all too common occurrence. The closest thing to the Denmark Special presently available is the Pathfinder featured in the last RKSA newsletter. Could there be an inspiration here from the past? //// Brad Shepherd

Rhett, Thanks for the great read! Terrific looking knife. I don't think I ever saw a Micarta handle shaped into a "crow's beak" at the end. Can that be ordered today? Best, Tony

Tony and Jesse, I had to call the Captain on this as I am not very knowledgable on the new knives. A knife today would not look close to the old one I show. It would look more like the knife that silverknife shows. Knives change through the years with all companies. Regards, Rhett

Tony and all other "interested" parties, That is, indeed, a truly cool old Denmark. Unfortunately, Just like the cool old sheath, the handle shape has become a piece of history. It is no longer available and has not been for a couple of decades! The closest you can come "nowadays" is to order a #22 handle and butt cap. If one solid piece of micarta is your goal, you can order a micarta "border patrol" shaped handle, but it will not be near as pronounced at the butt as this splendid old example. The "dual-carry" roughback is a great idea, but "no can do" anymore. Perhaps Greg could replicate the sheath, "after the fact", but not the Randall shop. Sorry to rain on your parade folks. Best, Capt. Chris
P.S. Sorry, Rhett. I did not know we were posting at the same time...CCS

This is my one and only Denmark Special. This is a 5 option knife that I believe has a customer supplied smooth stag handle. This is one beautifly balanced knife that is loaded with character. A keeper! Best, Warren

Do not post very much but look in every day. Just rec'd my Denmark yesterday - ordered almost five years ago. Not my first Randall but my first ordered from the shop.I ordered it before I knew about this sight. Called the shop one day and asked the man who answered the phone - some guy named Scott - if this would be a good general purpose small field knife. I was told that w/ the blade length and the #6 grind it would serve me well. Man does he know what he's talking about! Was so pleased with the knife that I pickle juiced the blade right away. Love the stag and the shape - almost a bp handle - like they know the shape of my hand. And as a bonus the packing material was the sports page from The Orlando Sentinel! Do things get any better? Sending my next order this weekend. Will post pics soon. Thanks to all at Randall for a great heirloom. Darren

BRAD SHEPHERD / THE DENMARK SPECIAL
One piece of memorabilia that will remain for a long time is the Randall made “DENMARK SPECIAL”. The Denmark Special was commissioned by Pete Denmark at the urging of “Little Walter” Hudson. “Little Walter” is the son of the co-founder. Little Walter goes about 250 and could bench press a Ford Bronco if he put his mind to it! Pete and Walter thought their customers deserved a Randall specifically designed for Florida use. Their theory was that the ideal Florida hunting knife would be small, rugged and simple. A drop point skinner with solid metal all the way to the tip was their choice. The taper grind on the top of most Randalls is all right for thrusting but could weaken the very area that had to take the force of splitting the backbone of a fresh kill.

Anybody have an up as to where Walter Hudson might be nowadays? It would be interesting to talk to him about quite a few subjects, including the "Denmark Special".

I think "simple" is the key word for this knife. Sometimes less is more as they say and in this case it's definitely true. Beautiful knife. And, very nice pictures (wish I could do that). Thanks for sharing.

Nice Denmark Billy. I'm beginning to like those red and brass spacers the more I see of them. That's a combination I do not own.

Holy Crap that's an AWESOME GTR! James, The early Denmarks were short like the one shown. Agreed, it's an awesome looking little knife

It is a lot more than "pretty" cool!!! Very unique. Looking at the spacers, do you think it was assembled by Gail White, Leschorn or someone like them?

Not sure Rod, anybody's guess?? I hadn't paid much attention to the knife until this morning. I've probably had it 10+ years now. As with most unusual RMK's I own, this one is no different. It has an issue with the sheath. Had an R stamped into it... So, it's no help !!

Or possibly a rehandle which might explain the sheath stamp. In any case a well done example.

Warren, my learned friend
Where the heck is the sheath with Michael's knife? Perhaps we Canadians have filters on our ISP and can not see all the pics!!!!!

Mike...and others, If you're interested, that is...Below is an example of an early Denmark (Prototype, if you will) with it's proper RMK shop-supplied sheath. Johnson's smoothback pouch-style with no keeper strap! If you look closely at my poor attempt (It is, after all, Nightime right now) to highlight the back of the sheath you will not notice any blade length denotation. What you "will" notice is the ever-controversial "R-UP" sheath stamp! For more clarity on this, I also burned up some flashlight battery and dove into The Captain's STASH! Second RMK is an ivorite (Westinghouse, "Old Yeller") Model #8-4". The sheath, at casual glance looks to be the same,,,,"BUT",,,(Been a while)...The sheath shows the "4" indicating it is for a 4 inch RMK, which the T&B is. You will also notice the sheath stamp, back to it's now accepted "R DOWN" position. Both sheaths Johnson and, yet, whaddya' know..differences. I hope this helps you Mike in your sheath search. Stay sharp everybody, Nighty Night, Capt. Chris

Very nice Cap, both are the bomb for sure. I used a Model 8 for the entire summer of 1975 as a fishing guide in and around Yellowstone Park. Great knife.

The trademark of knives sold by Denmark's Sporting Goods were the red / white spacer configuration. Can anyone tell me, was this done across the board with all models of RMK's ordered by Denmark's, or just on the "Denmark Special"?
