Great Thread Tom. Guess I can add a couple of pics......with their story. These pics. have an Uncle Henry I've owned since about '75. During a week long hunting/camping/walking trip in 1977 my WWII & Korean War vet buddy/very close friend braided that leather thong onto my Unc. Henry as we sat by the fire on the 3rd evening out, sharing a quart, fresh venison backstraps and tales.
The Randall #8 was the 2nd one I ever purchased, has gone on every hunt since, is my favorite for many reasons, has a close twin I gave to my son in the woods to field dress his first buck (carried it in my pack 2seasons without him knowing). I bought it from Perry @ Spaceport; had bought my 1st Randall from from Rhett at his Meadows of Dan store.
They are laying on top of a leather guitar strap a tailor made for me in '72 so that heavy Les Paul wouldn't keep falling off.
I miss all those men.
