I appologise in advance if this has been covered already or if I have this post in the wrong catagory.
The one thing that keeps surfacing in everything I read on line about Randall Knives is delivery. Which got this old manufacturing engineers brain wondering:

How many knife makers are there at the Randall Shop?

Does each knife maker complete a knife from raw to finished product or is there a little bit of Henry Ford going on with specific process duties. Forge, rough grind, H/T...and so on?

How many knives does each maker produce per day, or week?
Or better yet, how many units does the shop yield/week?

Do they use any modern or automated equipment? I would think in the H/T process, digital thermostats and environment control would be a given. Horizontal mill for slotting the handles and a CNC lathe for banging out #18 handles and caps.

This may be privilaged information, I know in the automotive industry this type of data can be pretty guarded. If it is, I appologize. Im just trying to understand the dynamics of the hobby.
Thanks,
