Ben, I don't know for sure. Might have been done "In country".

Perhaps, Tune or Crutchtip will drop a comment on this photo.

Not a shop rivet..... It could have easily been added. The thick center spacer dates it to the late 70's to mid 80's.

Hey guys, Picked up a custom knife stand made by Dorris Wood Creations for my Model #1-6. Thought I'd share...

Have a good day,

Jay

Very nice... I for one appreciate you sharing the photo!

N ice knife and display. You gotta love those toothy Randall's.

This knife/sheath is a bit of a mystery. The sheath was made in the early 60s at latest. I suspect the knife blade was made post 1966-67, probably late 60s. How they came to be paired is unknown, but not unexplainable - deep bin sheath, etc... many examples exist. Nice combo.

Could you please elaborate on the details of this knife that places it at a separate production date than the sheath? I am only on my iPhone.... Hard for me to tell.

Thanks,

Sure, happy to share ... its something I've been working on for a while, about ready to put it to community for comment/discussion. The Randall stamp on the blade of the knife in question seems to have been introduced about 1966-1968 or so. It is apparently different from the stamp used previously, all the way back to the '40s.

The sheath is of a gendre that has been thoroughly discussed... either a brown button Heiser-made with Randall-made stamp, production of which probably began in early 1959 and ended early 1963, or a brown button Heiser with Heiser stamp, production of which probably ended early 1959. Note: The Model 1 brown button Heiser sheaths with Randall-made stamp were well stocked when the change to Johnson manufacture was made. They were still being shipped a couple of years later, after other models were not only being shipped in Johnson sheaths but already had transitioned to baby dot snaps.
