Thanks to all, and a BIG thanks to Duke and Mitchell for working with Miss Gail, she is part Jewish so I know she got a great deal!!
Mitchell showed this knife in a picture of some knives they bought from the Clinton brothers, Duke sent me a close-up of it and I was enamored!! They brought it to Blade to sell, and well...it SOLD alright!!
By the way, her trip to The Streets of Gold was already GUARANTEED!!
Was great seeing ya'll at blade, the 2 of you are truly supposed to be together. May The Good LORD continue to Bless you as you go farther down His road.

Happy Anniversary Scott and Gail! Wally and I are following right behind you guys. We will be at 25 years in October, but I am hoping to be the one getting a knife. Gail did a great job!
Does anyone have pics of inside the handles by chance. I’m considering getting one. I shouldn’t but I’m getting closer to doing it. I wanna test one for hiking and hunting. And other woods tasks. Since it seems no one else has posted any real world tests or reviews. Just table top reviews. Been looking at Sam Wilson also and find more info on his knife and construction pics. But the Randall is a legend but I like sams blade shape better for a real woods knife. Thanks. Great pics everyone. Also to be clear I’m not looking for destruction type tests or anything. Just real user type testing.
I have spent literally hours talking on the phone and exchanging emails with Sam over the last 6 years. He's a great guy. Every detail and feature on his hollow handle knives is carefully thought out, field tested, and designed to perform. He is the most passionate hollow handle knife maker out there.
That said, what's not to love and trust about the Model 18. It's the one that started it all.
CUT, from my limited experience, the area inside the handle may be different, depending on the year of production. I think that is more so for the older models, and not so much for the more recent knives....I'm just say'n others may know better than I.
Thanks guys. Sams are very very interesting and will get one of his too at some point it’s just the Randall has the history and I love the nostalgia of it too. Lol. I got issues bad.
