Thanks Tom,....I actually hadn't seen that thread before. I also never saw any of the pictures of some of the really old ones before. Some of those knives even look a bit "rusty" and beat up,.....almost like they were carbon steel? (I thought this was always a SS model?)

I remember reading somewhere that the Randall hated making this model, do to some construction details. Possible the cutting out of the handle, or working with the SS double hilt. Stainless IS a b***h to work with!

Anyway,.....neat stuff for sure.
