Hi Jim and welcome to the Knife Network.
I'm guessing that you're partial to model #1's. I think the wrist thong and finger grips will help you to avoid letting this one get away. Thanks for posting. Cheers! David __________________ It takes less effort to smile than to frown ! |

Yeah, I'm real happy with it.
I traded a 1911 for the first #1 at the Missoula gun show in 1975, but foolishly traded it away at the same gun show 5 years later but have been in love with the Randall model 1 ever since. The long wait for this latest Randall was brutal but I tuffed it out. I just could not get this knife off my mind. Slowly but surely the time passed. Finally the big day I had been waiting for (not so patiently) arrived and the mailman delivered the box that contained the item of my desire, a Randall #1 with all the options I wanted. That was the longest 3 days of my life Jim Last edited by _Jim_; 11-29-2012 at 02:17 PM. |

Hi and welcome, Jim. That's a handsome knife! Finger grooved leather is my all time favorite handle. I collect the old ones. There were very few finger grooved leather handles made from WWII through to 1960. Before I narrowed my collecting to just Model 3's, I had this Model 1 in my collection:
It's from late '46 - early '47 (Very few fighters were made in the "translucent era" between WWI and the Korean war). This 3-7 is from 1948. This photo is in Sheldon's book: This one is mid '55. If you have any of the old RKS Newsletters, there is a small photo of it on the front page: Best, Ron |

Great knives Ron! I always enjoy seeing them.
I thought folks might enjoy seeing a photo of you relaxing on your yacht with one of your Randalls . Cheers! David __________________ It takes less effort to smile than to frown ! |

Thanks, David. For some reason I don't wear those blue pants anymore
Since we're throwing out pics, have you seen the one of Crutchtip's latest girlfriend? (I have to get him over here). Best, Ron |

Nothing quite like knowing what you want, and then getting it......normally, it takes most folk 20-30 tries, some of us longer......four is pretty good and pretty cheap....
