Hello Everyone,
(Just another opinion…worth what you paid for it.)

It humors me to hear people talk about overpriced Randalls…specifically on eBay. Bottom line Folks, if it sold, then it wasn’t overpriced. I have certainly seen my share of RMKs, as have the rest of you, sell at incredible prices on eBay. I say “Good,” these knives are holding value and a good assumption would be is the RMKs I have are increasing in value too. I go to several knife shows a year and I am here to tell you, I have seen some Real Incredible Prices on RMKs at the shows…by some respectable folks. This quoted “overpricing” isn’t just on eBay folks, its everywhere. Personally, I don’t think it is overpricing. I have sold several Randalls on eBay, a couple to friends, and traded a fair share too. I have so much fun buying, selling, trading…and most of all, collecting!!!! I tell people that I buy some, sell some, and keep way too many . Therefore, to continue my hobby, I must sell some. The ones I do sell, I make a profit on. I am here to tell you, that I have never lost a dime on a Randall…and I don’t intend to start now. I don’t have a storefront, I don’t have a website, I DO HAVE EBAY. I don’t give my money away…never have, never will…nor do I expect anyone else to.

To be analogous, Is anyone out there willing to sell me 1000 shares of common stock of their favorite company… say Toyota at a 10% discount? It’s selling around $130 per share. How ‘bout it folks, anyone out there willing to sell 1000 shares to me for $117 a share? NO? Then why would someone expect me to sell a Randall for “below market price”? I have user RMKs…I have some that I will never use...that being said, all of my RMKs are Investments.

I certainly have my fair share of Randalls on order too. Will I keep all of them? Probably not…I’d be fibbing if I said different. However, I currently am trying to get on order every Skinning/Hunting/Outdoorsman knife (including every blade length) on order with Warther’s Ivory and Silverknife’s silver (no worry, these will not be showing up on eBay when I do start receiving them). A lofty goal some would say. The way I calculate it, ordering one every 3 months and assuming the 5 year wait does not change (not probable), I will take delivery on the last knife in 25 years. Does this discourage me? No…absolutely not.

My biggest fear for Randall is that they would succumb to the long wait time and lower their Standard of Quality, sell through Authorized Dealers only…worst of all, sell out to some corporation who wouldn’t give a crap about RMK as we know:(. That would bring a tear to my eye! Harley Davidson hasn’t done it, Randall Made Knives hasn’t done it…but it seems like everyone else has. I’ll wait 5 years, 10 years, 25 years…time is relative. I’ll be putting my next order in February… Model 23 Warther’s Ivory handle, Silver furniture, and all the options RMK will let me have .

Thx, Brian

P.S. Thanks to everyone at RMK…for not changing a thing…most of all the Quality!!!
