Walt, the written sentence is frequently subject to different interpretations. I collect things that are far more complicated than Randall knives. At least we know who made Randalls and where. Try collecting tribal oriental carpets … often it is not clear even what “tribe” made them, much less when, where, with what dyes, etc.

Off-hand comments can cause particularly intense discussion if not worded carfully, because such comments tend to get defended, rather than corrected. I personally value your perspective and know your 1960s era collection is pretty strong. I hope to see some of your knives in the future.

I thought we should post the pictures of this historic knife on this forum, as that has not yet been done. So … here they are.









Note: The handle micarta appears to have been damaged or altered on this side of the knife right next to the guard, either shaved down or a piece split off,.
