Small blade stamp? It looks kind of small in the pic.

Come on...When did anyone "ever" get a knife that cheap from Rhett? 4 times was "Cousin's" price!
Too funny, Capt. Chris

Appears to be a mid/late 60's blade that was buried at the bottom for near two decades. Maybe this is why the handle was fitted with a vintage looking up-sweep as opposed to the latter years drop. To take advantage of the old blade being finally finished into a complete knife -vintage style.

...and it looks like mid-60's to me, too. Here's my mid-60's compared with the Captain's. Blade shapes similar, as are the shallow choils.

Good hints in some of these replies. The knife was made in 1984. I will not say where (or from who) I bought it. I started messin' with Randalls in the 1960's. I started "dealing" in Randalls in the late 60's / early 70's. I was fortunate to receive an authorized dealership in 1983 (Same time Dave Griffin hired Scotty). I started "ordering" my own dealer special in 1985. I liked this knife because it was built right in that time period. I also like the little "extra" it had as that "little" extra is responsible for many "paths" I have taken.
Thanks for playing along with "This Old Randall". I hope it was fun. I hope it was interesting. I hope it more informative...but mostly..."The Fun" part of collecting is what I hope someone takes away from this.
Stay sharp...and let's see more folks post up this kinda' stuff!
Capt. Chris

Holzinger is that a replacement sheath for your Mod. 1? It doesn't look correct. I don't think that is Maurice Johnson's sewing.....IMO.
Thanks.
