I was ‘speaking with Rod Brown only last night and we where both reminiscing about our experience of Perry,I had no idea it was the anniversary of his passing,great guy,helped me out a couple of times in a way that only he could do.

You guys know I'm missing him. Sad and great thoughts...all at the same time.
Semper Fi, Perry
Capt. Chris

I met Perry a couple of times he was always a fair in all my dealing with him. I still have my Glades Hunter that he and the Capt. had made up.

I too miss Perry. He taught me much about RMK as well as selling me some great knives.
Rest In Peace Perry.

I met Perry at my first Blade Show. We both smoked at the time, so we would take smoke breaks together back on the dock. This went on for many consecutive years, so I had the privilege of getting to know him pretty well. He was a tough-as-nails country gentleman. I cherished our friendship. RIP, Perry.

Only had the privilege of knowing him @ 3 years. Bought my second knife from him which shortly there after was gifted to my son for HS Graduation (yes... It's a user). Perry had that magnetic personality mixed with the splash of sarcasm! Always willing to answer this exuberant newbie's not so... thoughtful questions!!! He saved my a$$ at my 1st Blade from jumping on what was a too good to be true stag re-handle!!!

Now we gotta hear that story.

OK Rob, here goes. Met Perry at the Orlando gun show in 2011. The shop had told me to get in touch with Perry to value some (old/inexpensive) knives destroyed in our house fire. When I told him what insurance was going to cover he told me to take it and run. I walked away with my 2nd Randall. A #28, now my son's!

Fast forward 2012 Blade show with my son and a pocket full of cash $$$!!! So pretty much being green as a fresh cut oak limb, I'm in a frenzy... been to the ATM 3 times... Looking at a gorgeous 27, unbelievable stag, had my money out, too much as well, and Perry walked by. Ask him what he thought and after he told me to relax cause I was sticking out like a first time Blade Show guy!! He pulled me away from the table and explained a few things about Randall Knives! It turned out to be a re-handle and not a good one at that. It was a great experience, great show and the never-ending knife fever continues!!

Here is Captain Chris, Perry Miller, and some feller from the Randall Shop, (Scott Maynard, of course) at Blade Show 2011.

Perry left his mark on the American knife world.

Many years ago I met Perry once at a knife show in Arlington, TX (Spirit of Steel?) as well as Big Jim. Two interesting guys. I am sorry about Perry's passing. I lost touch with Big Jim not too long aferwards.
