I started working on a new resource for the Randall community over the weekend, and got it to the point that I feel comfortable announcing it to the forum. It is an FAQ for ordering Randall knives, meaning about placing an order, and specifying options. See: http://lundestudio.com/RandallOrderingFAQ/

In other words, the purpose of the FAQ is not about about buying vintage Randalls, or buying Randalls that are already built.

Anyway, please check it out when you have an opportunity. Of course, any and all feedback is welcome.

Good summary Ken ! thanks for the work you put into that.
Are you sure that the current limit rule of five chargeable options does not apply to dealer specials ? If my memory doesn´t fail it was a different story with my last orders of the Nordic Bowie and Stanaback Special, but again, I might be wrong

Best wishes

Yes, I am sure. It is definitely good information to know, and makes it a much easier process to configure a Dealer Special to your liking, making it that much more special.

Nice....just to expand on the "What RMK Dealer Specials Can Be Ordered" information......I think it would be great to have a complete list of Authorized RMK Dealers and contact info.

Ken,

That's a lot of work there! Just a few "misquotes"...

1. STN (sawteeth/no sawteeth) grind IS a chargeable option on any knife where it is available other than the model 18, where the grind is standard.

2. You inadvertently left off the AG Russell Special.

Other than these, FANTASTIC job!!

Many thanks, Scott.

For #1, I will make the appropriate adjustment.

For #2, I called A.G. Russell today, and they told me that their Dealer Special had been discontinued, or at least they told me that it could not be ordered. That is why it was left off the list. I intended to include only those that can still be ordered.

2. News to us!!, actually AGR only orders these by their own specifications (handle wise) and do not take orders that would differentiate from what they will offer in their catalog the next time an order is placed. Although it has been a while since their last request when they do start to order, they do so as to stock up for the next catalog.

Still, great work sir!
