OK Rob, here goes. Met Perry at the Orlando gun show in 2011. The shop had told me to get in touch with Perry to value some (old/inexpensive) knives destroyed in our house fire. When I told him what insurance was going to cover he told me to take it and run. I walked away with my 2nd Randall. A #28, now my son's!

Fast forward 2012 Blade show with my son and a pocket full of cash $$$!!! So pretty much being green as a fresh cut oak limb, I'm in a frenzy... been to the ATM 3 times... Looking at a gorgeous 27, unbelievable stag, had my money out, too much as well, and Perry walked by. Ask him what he thought and after he told me to relax cause I was sticking out like a first time Blade Show guy!! He pulled me away from the table and explained a few things about Randall Knives! It turned out to be a re-handle and not a good one at that. It was a great experience, great show and the never-ending knife fever continues!!
