crutchtip Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/16/05 Posts: 2854	Nothing "strange" about it. Typical tenite handle that was epoxied on and has shrunk away. Bo tried the material a second time with the same results as the first time. _________________________ www.rmkcollector.com BUY-SELL-TRADE

Andrea Bertelli Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/11/14 Posts: 74 Loc: Italy	Chrutchtip, please could you please explain me better? It is a normal made knife? How could be the value of this knife and the date of production ? I always saw tenite with screws and exposed tang.

Tattoo Bill Knife Enthusiast Registered: 07/14/15 Posts: 1907 Loc: Spring Hill, Florida	Vietnam era model with epoxied green tenite handles and non exposed tang. The tenite has shrunk (which is why Randall stopped using it) Johnson riveted sheath with large throat rivets. Possibly a split back? Can't see to tell. Yellow script stone dates 66-69 era. The example shown here is slightly older than the one that you have in your pics. Extremely rare and valuable knife!

Tom Vaught Knife Enthusiast Registered: 04/26/10 Posts: 574 Loc: Michigan	You have a GOOD one there Andrea. Tom V. Everyone assumes that every Randall made or conceived was a roaring success. This is an example of an experiment that was tried and Bo Randall learned from the attempt. Edited by Tom Vaught (11/14/15 04:31 PM) _________________________ Tom Vaught RKS# 5100
