Thanks Rocky, I love to trade old randalls and I know you have some very nice ones. Let me know if you are ever in a trading mood!

I just got this one and love it I talked to Mr. Jack Crider and he told me a little history on the knife. He bought it from the shop April of 1980 for $230.00 he was told it was the first sub hilt fighter (non bowie) first in 154C and one of three with the trademark on the opposite side. I am very lucky to have this one!

Jesse that is really a GREAT knife!!!! congrats.

Jesse, thanks for sharing this really great knife with us. Your pictures are teriffic.

Someday, I'd enjoy hearing the story of how you found the knife, and if you feel really gracious, how much you paid for it.

How I found it was an interesting story. I met a real nice guy at the blade show on Thursday and we hung out all day on Friday. I was running around like a kid in a candy on Friday because I had to leave that night and be at work at 7 AM the next day. So I call the guy I met at the show (don’t want to name names) the next day while I am at work and ask if he found any thing that is cool. He absolutely did. He picked it up along with a Bear Camp Special #001 a Leibowitz (SP) and some other high end knives. I asked him how much he wanted for it and he told me $XXXX it was a large some of money for me so I told him I would call him in thirty minuets. When I called him back he had sold the knife to another man I know (a great guy by the way) and he sold it to me for $500 less than the first guy was offering it to me for. I was and still am a very very happy man.

That was good stick-to-itiveness Jesse. You have something there that you can be real proud of.

Don't re-handle it and sell it on eBay as original.
