Yo Bro,

Do you have any pics and provenance of knives and sheaths post 1948 with rivets?

Best,

I have an old Randall but am not shure the age. So here it goes. #1 fighter 8" single pin (brass I think) stag handle. Silver guard and has the name "atropos" etched on other side. Has a H.H. Heiser scabard with brown snap covers. seven spacers at handle. That is what I have gleaned from your posts so far but cant get a handle on the year. I bought this knife used in 1981.
Thanks Tom

There is a place...and a "fee" for selling Randall knives on this forum. I am sure this is a case of innocent posting, but I would ask the mods to delete this "for sale" post and put it in the "bin". To the poster, if you would go to the "buy, sell, trade" Randall forum, you will find the information needed to go about this process properly.
Best, Capt. Chris

I edited the post. Did not mean to look as if I was being sneaky. I was thinking of selling not actualy selling it, but I understand the need to keep that kind of thing in check. My purpose was to gain some knowledge.

Thanks for setting me straight Capt.

Tom,

Knife and sheath look to be mid 50's.

Best,

Thanks for the info guys,
I was getting the feeling that was the case from reading this thread. It was older than I thought and makes me like it so much more. I love oldstuff I ride a 68 harley, mow with an old 70s bolens riding tractor, drive a 79 bug and a 68 plymouth. My wife hates me for it. I wish the knife could tell its story who owned it what they did with it why they named it after the Greek Godess.
Thanks Again
Tom

The name appears not to have been put there by the Randall shop.

looked it up in Wikipedia:

Atropos was the oldest of the Three Fates, and was known as the "inflexible" or "inevitable". It was Atropos who chose the mechanism of death and ended the life of each mortal by cutting their thread with her "abhorred shears". She worked along with her two sisters, Clotho, who spun the thread, and Lachesis, who measured the length.

It looks right to me, Dubie. What about it looks off to you?

Best,

Maybe it's just the angle of the photo. The letters look too squatty.
