I would like to thank everyone for posting their knives.
We have seen some real beauties!

A few years back I spoke with authorized Randall dealer and all around good guy, Wayne Buxton. He told me that in his opinion anyone who is a true Randall knife collector should have a Smithsonian Bowie in his collection. I asked Wayne to please order me one in the configuration that he felt was best. I was delighted when this knife came in the mail.

As you can see, the shop did a great job. Everything from blade to hilt to collar to walnut handle to butt cap is well thought out and, in my opinion, gorgeous.

Thanks to Wayne and thanks to the Randall shop for my first, but not last, Randall Knife Smithsonian Bowie.

Pretty big knife Kevin!
After carrying around all those #26's are you sure you can handle it?!?

(I had to get that in before Chief did)

Look at the grind and polish on that blade! Beautiful!!!

You know what they say Tom, the bigger the knife,...the smaller the uh...shoe size.

Nice knife Kevin. Very nice!

Regards,
Doug

Beautiful knives everyone. The Smithsonian is by far my favorite Randall. I only have one but there will be more to follow.

Kevin,
Beautiful Smitty!
Strange thing,You're going for the Bowies & David going for the tittybaby knives... Strange indeed...
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!
