Good hints in some of these replies. The knife was made in 1984. I will not say where (or from who) I bought it. I started messin' with Randalls in the 1960's. I started "dealing" in Randalls in the late 60's / early 70's. I was fortunate to receive an authorized dealership in 1983 (Same time Dave Griffin hired Scotty). I started "ordering" my own dealer special in 1985. I liked this knife because it was built right in that time period. I also like the little "extra" it had as that "little" extra is responsible for many "paths" I have taken.
Thanks for playing along with "This Old Randall". I hope it was fun. I hope it was interesting. I hope it more informative...but mostly..."The Fun" part of collecting is what I hope someone takes away from this.
Stay sharp...and let's see more folks post up this kinda' stuff!
