Just another tid-bit; when I ordered my first Randall while in college in 1967, I was told that if interested, the shop would make up my #1 in Solingen immediately, but if I wanted the shop made blade, it would be 4 months. I decided to wait as I didn't see any reason to have a German made blade on a USA make knife. Funny how things turn out.
