Wow, that knife blows me away!

Amazing!!! The "Holy Grail" of Randalls. I am glad you have it. It is certainly the center piece of your amazing collection.

Ron,
A very special and historically significant Randall. I had heard about this and I've been waiting for the unveiling! Congratz! It couldn't be in better company.

How many knives from that era are still in existence?

Ron
Very cool knife, and a great addition to your collection. It seems in excellent shape for its age. Would it be possible for you to tell us how you located this gem?

Peter

Congratulations Ron!

This exceptional knife is truly a once in a life time find, and it makes an incredible addition to your already spectacular collection of early "Hunters".

I couldn't wish this beautiful blade a better home.

Cheers!

David

Thanks very much, Mike!



Thanks as well, Rick. I tried to take some pics last weekend, but they didn't turn out very well and I didn't figure out the problem until this morning.



That's a good question, Leatherman. I can only give you an account of the ones I know about. There is "Bo's first knife" owned by Rhett that I had the good fortune to handle at a Blade Show. There are the ones in the Randall Museum that I've seen photos of. There is one I know about that surfaced and changed hands 10-15 years ago (There is a photo of that knife's spacers in Pete's book). There is a carver that I ownned at one time (Photo in Sheldon's book). The last is an all S/S "Fishing Knife" I owned at one time. That's about it.



Thanks, Peter. This one came to me. A fair number of people know I just collect Hunters.



Thanks, David!

Whoa, just hearing about all those historical artifacts changing hands is scary. IMO these caliber of Randalls should be in the shop museum, or with someone such as yourself or Rhett, Capt Chris, etc for book photos, knife shows and display like on this forum. To think anyone (like me) could potentially buy a knife like this is scary!

Ron
What a superb knife!! Congratulations on obtaining the knife. It could not belong to a more worthy RMK collector.

Congratulations on that find Ron. An exceptional knife in anyones book. That piece could not have found a better collector to have put it's roots down with. Happy Hunting:)
