Hey...Everyone:
I find this interesting and pertinent to this topic. Although this nice old Morseth hunter isn't a Randall, it is quite appropriately made at the right time and with the right stuff, i.e.: Old Yeller.
A customer brought this to me a couple of weeks ago, just to have it appraised. When I drew the knife out of the sheath I immediately said: "Uh huh...Old Yeller...and that God-awful fading and darkening". He asked me what I was talking about. He's a good guy, an avid hunter and fisherman...and "NEVER" noticed this?!/'#+*!???
Can you folks pick out the "tell-tale" sign?
Best, Capt. Chris
