Sam Granade gave us an impromptu seminar about the history of NASA ordering 20 knives for each of the capsules. He used a book, We Seven, from a 75th Anniversary Display to find the commentary on the order. The displays were impressive and the collec

Thanks Scott, great photos!! In one of the photos below, is that some kind of mega-Astro?

Thanks Scott. I've seen that photo grouping of astros. Just not those particular astros that were at blade. If those are Sam's, it looks like he and Gary Clinton have quite a collection. Thanks for the info and name and photos Scott.

His name is Sam Granade, and Sam along with Gary Clinton of Clinton Knives are 2/3 Astro genius'! They gave probably the greatest Seminar that Blade ever had a few years back on the Randall 17's...

Sounds like a good show. I hope to go one day. Dennis mentioned a early model 17 was brought in. Did anyone get a picture of that one? Maybe some pictures of the displays too. Thanks

The first Randall that I ever bought was a 26 with a 25 handle like this, from A.G. Russell. I couldn't bring myself to actually use it during deer season, so I sold it. I've been looking for one with some nice stag on it, and this one filled the bil
