I have stayed out of this "exchange"...... but.

It is sad to watch two men I consider friends (Joe and Ron) and another that I have met (Sam) tear one another apart over the 55 year old question of who made these sheaths.

98% of the Randall community does not care, the other two percent have enough information to know that they were all made in a 4 year window. It does not change the value of the knife, nor the authenticity.

Guys....please. Let it go. Try to find a way to reconcile. Friendships like yours are much more rare than these knives.

I doubt that it will happen, but I really do hope mine is the last post in this thread. It is the lounge... you are free to continue, but I can't imagine why you would.
