I know next to nothing about old Randall knives, but I've heard lots of stories from Vietnam of guys preparing wild game in the field. Having done it myself, I know that meat/blood stains the knife pretty good over time.

I'm wondering if that was what was intimated, vs. knife fight. Although I personally know a guy I fully believe killed a Viet Cong with his Randall.
