Hey Cap, found one!!!

Got lucky this week and picked up a once owned early 70's Model 11-4. This one has several unique features that I find interesting. For starters, if you look at the stamp you'll notice that it's not hot stamped, but rather an etched stamp with a separate "S". Another interesting feature is the blade thickness. Usually 11-4's are made with 3/16" stock; this one is closer to 1/4" in fact I compared this blade to other larger 11-4.5 and 11-5's that I have and this blade is nearly as thick as it's big brother. The extra weight gives this knife a little more heft but is nicely balanced. This knife may have started out as a 11-4.5 and may have been re-ground into a 4" blade, who knows? The original owner purchased this knife over the counter in the 70's and it has his name etched on the blade. Overall a really nice unused 35+ year old Randall with nice stag and a tight-stitch JRB sheath. A nice find!

Best,
Warren
