Thanks for sharing that.

I have to confess I'm constantly overwhelmed with the Randall collecting side. So many options of this or that and a rare sheath or a certain grind. It's all too much for a new guy.

I was drawn to RMK because they are super high quality and hold up well in the field. And that's why I use them.

I don't have a collector's personality--if I'm not using something, I eventually pass it along. But, I occasionally consider starting to collect the knives rather than just use them. But the bewildering array of features seems to make it impossible for me to learn the true value of each knife.

This ebay one is a case in point. If someone tried to sell that to me for $1,000, I'd think, no way. But here is is worth 8 times that.

I commend you guys on your extensive knowledge of these things. It's really impressive.
