Ron -

I have never heard this mentioned in any conversation relative to the marking on RMK supplied sheaths - "a request that Bo had made for decades". When and where did you hear this?

I will repeat one of the key questions, that being what was the impetus for Bo to get a RMK logo stamp in the first place? Because he didn't like the current "Heiser" logo or because he found a local maker.

From the auction description:

4 Randall Knife Sheaths. 1-7,1-8,12-9,15-5 1/2. All Rough Back. New Condition.All are missing a Snap. AND the 15 5 1/2 sheath has torn stitching on the Sharpener Pouch. See Photos.

The Story: Came from a Estate of a Leather Worker whom worked at "Heiser Saddle Co."in Denver. It was a great Sale ,Besides Leather,Tools,Heiser Stamps..... There was quite a few Saleman Samples. Included were these Randall Sheaths. You will Notice all are marked with "SAMPLE" in red ink. I was unable to remove ink .Maybe you will be more Successfull or Maybe Black Dye? Which Ever, I hope someone has a use for these Sheaths.

My questions to the seller:

Hello -

You mention in your auction that there were "Heiser Stamps" in the estate sale. Do you recall an "Randall Made" stamp(s) as on these sheaths you are selling? Any type of correspondence from Randall Made knives? Anything that you can recall about these sheaths? Were they listed as sales samples in the estate sale?

thanks

His response:

In Bla Bla Discription.I was just relaying Where and When I came across these sheaths. I dont Collect Knives.I'm More into Colorao Stuff. With that said.
The Family didn't know what they had. I'm surprised they didn't just throw everthing away. I didn't see any Randall Stamps or Literature. And dont know why these were mixed in with the Heiser Stuff. Were Heiser and Randall Connected in some way?? Sorry i cant help you more.
