Patrick, your #5 with Iron wood handle is so out standing that I would like to ask all my Randall bretheran to keep an eye out for a source of a #5 - 8", SS, desert Ironwood presentation grade handle of at least this calibre for sale. The mid 1950's #5 - 8" I have has 'charminlgy aged' carbon steel and 'tired' leather handle. I would most indebted for any information of any that is available for sale.

My instinct was correct, this forum is such a delicously bad influence on a weak willed 'teenager at heart' Randall aficienado.


Many thanks.
