Greetings to all,
I purchased this Randall around 1980 used from a knife shop. Just wondering if the experts can possibly give me any information about vintage, description, and or value. Just has been hanging out in the safe for many years and pull it out for admiring every now and again.
One specific question is the small cut outs at the hilt as seen on most model 13's i have seen. Choils I think they are called, why are they not on mine. Also as can be seen from the pics, the "Randall" stamp is not complete?

Thanks in advance for all replies.

It looks like from the markings on the back of the sheath you have a model 13 with a 12 inch blade. Does the sheath have a stone pocket in the front? If so, can you also provide a description or a picture of the front of the sheath and the stone. I'm not the resident expert but this is my best guess and the additional information requested would be helpful to pinpoint the age.

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks Dan,
I never paid much attention to the sheath markings. I find it interesting the 13 - 12 markings also, because it is a 6" blade that fits the knife perfectly.
Also the ink stamp not embossed "Randall" on the leather. Included is a pic of the front. No stone pocket, no stone, very well made.

Found them in a box of old militaria.I was thinking of removing the red buttons and replacing them with velcro......maybe even filing finger grooves in the handle.

That's just strange. I also don't see a Randall stamp anywhere on the sheath. Perhaps one of the other Randall "experts" out there can help. It's a really nice looking model 13-6 with a forward curved hilt. As for the Randall stamp, it looks like it could have happen when they were grinding and polishing the blade.

The knives are worth more if you do not do any modifications to them, including the sheaths. If you want more user friendly knives, why don't you put them both up for sale and with the money you get purchase new ones. Just my .02 cents.

I'm hoping this is just a joke.
