That's a great present! I was a SWCC (boat guy) at SBU 12 and SBU 13 back in the 80's when the SPECWAR budgets were pretty lean. I do have a couple of K Bars though. We would get one as part of our deployment issue. I miss those days, especially the people. Anyway...I better stay away from the sea stories (aka true stories).
I am at a little of a loss for what to do about getting a big Randall. I like the Smithsonian, the Raymond Thorpe and the Confederate all for different reasons. I'm not entirely sure why I think I need to have any of them from a purely practical point of view. Over the years I have not really looked at any sheath knives because I had what I considered to be the best. My Randall Dive knife. What do you think about the big Randall bowies?
There's a railorad conference in Orlando I will be going to tomorrow for four days. I'm hoping to visit the Randall museum at some point if I can break away.
I live in Jacksonville, FL.
