To whom it may concern,

I am the largest authorized Randall dealer in the south. You should check out the following:

Perry Miller, former President of the NKCA, was my very best friend. He was also Randall Made Knives' official authenticator. He was also owner and president of Woodson & Associates, a union electrical shop in Titusville, Florida.
Woodson's was granted the contract, by NASA, to demolish and rebuild all the electrical and electronic components of Launch pads #39A & 39B, after the Challenger shuttle blew up. EVERYTHING was changed to include oxygen sensors, etc. which would have sensed the bad "O-rings" which led to the shuttle's explosion.
During all of this demolition, a great deal of insulators and electronic circuit boards were removed and headed for a landfill. I mentioned to Perry that we should secure some of this material as we might be able to salvage some pieces to be used for Randall knife handles.
That is exactly what we did and proceeded in making a couple of hundred NASA-handled RMKs. Perry passed away 10 years ago...and I miss him everyday. I purchased his knife business, "Spaceport Cutlery" and continued building these collectible knives.
I hope this clears up your questions.
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris
