Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12870 Loc: Central Florida	Doug, These knives were handled in Rosewood. Tom was well-known or "pinning" his handles and/or butt caps. He felt it left a neater engraving job on the butt cap ends. I have not closely inspected this set in a long time. They were pulled from the Randall museum some 12-15 years ago (?). Tom & I traveled together to a good many shows. I had the pleasure of watching him work a #12-11-"C"...BRASSBACK...giving it the same treatment as this series. Upon returning from the engravers show in Las Vegas (around 1985-86) he was heart-broken to open his bag and see the Indian rosewood handle, cracked in two! As some of you know, I bought Tom & Mary's house in Orlando. When he returned to Florida (from Fairbanks) the year was 1982-83 (I think). His work looked exactly he same...Perfect! Best, Capt.

BoBlade Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/05 Posts: 1673 Loc: Kalifornia	Doug, Congratulations on acquiring (IMO) two of the most exquisite and desirable Randalls ever made. I was fortunate to have seen pics of the Asia and Europe editions back in February. It's really nice to see these other editions emerging now. Best, Ron _________________________ Ron Mathews RKS No. 4223

dhawki2 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/06/08 Posts: 19 Loc: TX	My oldest Randall --I think. Just picked this knife up a few weeks ago and I have been reading and looking trying to decided when it was made. I am thinking in the 1950's but then I think maybe early 60's. Came with wrong sheath so that is no help. Hope someone can line me out on date. Hop to pick up correct sheath sometime I know my pictures are not real good but maybe good enough to tell. thanks Don Attachments ------ ------ ------ _________________________ Don Hawkins RKS #5807
