Really love my stag handled 8 in above posts, but stumbled upon this new one last week and fell in love. Maroon Micarta is my favorite handle material. Paired with brass and the fact this one was O1 made it a must have.

Immediately upon receiving, I knocked the top edge off and smoothed it out. Three reasons I do this, in order of importance:

1 & 2: I whittle and carve a lot. Having a top edge would make it more difficult to do the finer work, and I choke up a lot, so I'd exponentially increase the number of times I casually walk past the family on my way to the master bathroom to glue and patch myself back up.

2: New York is the birthplace of irrational behavior and has this thing about double edged knives. Yep, even a Ka-Bar with top edge sharpened is double edged. So, by taking off that edge, I leave no game warden or police officer any earthly reason to take possession of my Randall.

Thinned the pigeon herd at one of my local dairy farm permissions. I like to take the breast meat out of a few to feed my feral cats at home, who in turn, take care of all critters that may mess with my garden.

Very nice knife. Great to see them in use. I'm from Ny as well and still don't know the exact laws governing knives. Nor do I think there should be a law.

Aurevoir Gopher, beautiful knife! I also love maroon micarta.
I have, but not Randall - Dozier Folding Hunter.

There are a couple of old photos of the documentary, as G. Powers was shot down.
His stuff and knife.
More good photos than these I have not found.

This popular program on the history of weapons,
one of the issues about the silent gun.
About U-2 from 8 minutes

Thanks to Dan Snyder, now I have a great #8.
I like the brass butt cap.
Balance the blade slightly shifted to the handle,
for a small blade this is convenient, at least for me.

I'm glad you like it. It was the first Randall that I purchased. My tastes have changed since I first started collecting.

Enjoy,

Dan Snyder

Thanks for the photo. I'm really using the heck out of this knife. Also using my Stag version, but not as much. I have always loved the look and feel of burgundy Micarta.

My friend, who was in Moscow at work, very help me,
he went to the museum - http://www.cmaf.ru/

Professional photography is prohibited, but from your phone or tablet can be photograph.

Unfortunately knife, gun and poisoned needle are in storage, but their pictures were better than in the movie,
and a pair of residues U2 photo.

sorry for the bad quality smile

Very cool photos, desert. Thanks for posting them.

To anyone - what is the item with the ball chains in the bottom left corner of this photo?
