Tony,
Little & Middle Brothers.I'll try to post the Big Brother soon.Only difference is it's earlier,we won't complain about that.I do love commando leather on #1's.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!

Tony,
Here's Big Brother.Standard #1-8 but I call it "Big Blade".
Has just a massive looking 8 inch tool steel blade,almost 1 3/8 inches at the widest part of the blade,5 inch commando leather handle that's about 1/2 inch longer than most of my others.Johnson roughback brown button sheath,combo stone.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!

Here is a new addition, Model 1-7 fighter FG stag,01 carbon w/JRB brown button sheath.

Jim,
That is one BIG BEAUTY!!

This one passed through my hands not too long ago. It's a bit rare because there were so few fighters made between WWII and the Korean war, and almost without exception those you do see have leather handles. It's also unusual because it has an abbreviated double hilt. The workmanship looks "shop-like", but there no way of knowing for sure. Anyhow, I wanted to see Jim's great thread come back to the top and hope some of you will enjoy the photo.



Best,

Big Jim, Burnie and Ron,

Beautiful Knives. You Guys should collaborate on a book with stories of how you came across all of the beautiful old Randall Knives you show us.

Ron,
Great Old #1.Good to see you posting again.

Great knife Ron, Tom I wish I had all the ones I wanted and thank you for just putting my name in the pool with two great guys like "Big Jim" and "Bo Blade"

Thanks, Guys. I sure wish I could keep a few more than I'm able to.
