I have to add the next two Randalls I got, because what I did was get these first three, and...
stopped buying Randalls for a while. (DUMB
) We just bought our first house and
then had our first child, so I figured I'd take a "short" break from buying more "expensive" knives
and get back to them soon. Well, soon turned into several years and everything changed "a little."
Anyway, so I consider these "triplets" my "Firsts."
The #5 (Angier version) is photographed with the page of the catalog opened to it with a star next to it
as a "guide" for my Wife, Barbara, should she need an idea for a Birthday or Christmas gift!
And she took the bait (God I love that girl
)
The #1 I bought soon after, so all three were purchased from the early to mid/late 80s (if I recall correctly).
