marc Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/14 Posts: 74	Collecting Randall knives is fairly new to me and so it came as a surprise to discover Mr Richard B Henn's work. This example currently on the bay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/RBH-American-Made-Smithsonian-Bowie-knife-/331145560072 It's described as a Smithsonian,but to me I would think it would be more accurately described as a Raymond Thorpe? Mr Henn clearly likes to copy Randall knives,can anyone tell me more about this maker and how his knives compare to the genuine article. Edited by marc (03/06/14 11:28 AM)

Claims he can say they are made in USA because he sends US material to Pakistan. When pressed he admitted that the only thing he sends are the design (which he rips off from Randall)

I decided to chop in the country branch of cherry... Study showed hardness of 51 HRC. My Randall #3-5 chop down thick branches 8-10 cm thick and not blunted.
