I recently picked up a Gulf Coast Knife Collectors (GCKC) Club limited edition RMK Model 1-8" (my apologies for the weak pics), and was trying to figure out when it was released. In conducting some on-line research, I compiled the following information about the GCKC limited edition Randall Made Knives.

It appears that GCKC issued three limited edition RMKs, in addition to other (non-RMK) limited edition 'club' knives. Following is the information that I was able to unearth (there are more detailed descriptions for the 1-8" and 10-7" knives as I have examples in the collection; any additional info about the specifics of the 10-5" [or if anyone knows of one for sale] would be greatly appreciated).

I'm looking for comments, corrections, confirmation or additional GCKC information that any forum member (especially someone who was a GCKC member) may be able to provide about these RMKs. If anyone can confirm whether the GCKC issued COAs with these knives, please let me know. Thank you.

Here are the GCKC limited edition Randall knives (that I am presently aware of):
