Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 13185 Loc: Central Florida	I am compiling the very first RKCC newsletter and it got me to thinking. (Always a dangerous thing, to be sure) Being as it's getting along into summer and things are always slow on our forum during this time period, I had an idea. Let's share with other members of this forum ( and perhaps the RKCC in another newsletter or two) our oldest and newest Randall knife! The combinations could be very interesting. We could see knives from the 1930's up to and including last week! If you think this idea would make for a great topic, let me hear from ya'! If not...Let me hear from ya' anyway! To make it interesting I'll devise some sort of Randall "PRIZE" to go along with this new venture. So...How about it? What do you think? I would request photos, of course, for the interest factor.

If enough folks are "out there" and want to do this, I think it will make great reading and education. Best, Capt.
