Chief Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/05/05 Posts: 5414 Loc: Baton Rouge, Louisiana	Welcome Justin, just remember that it will take a minute to learn what you are after. Just follow your own saying & You'll get there. Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. I don't collect the "Older Stuff", I just like the pretty ones. But hanging out here ya can't help but learn. Good Hunting! _________________________ See Ya, Chief RKCC CM-037 RKS #5154 If you put off following The LORD just remember......They don't serve breakfast in hell!

That is an awesome looking knife. Thanks, Justin. ==================================================================== Originally Posted By: Justin So what is the difference between my brown handle and your? I mean besides obvious color and pattern. Like material i guess is what im getting at..and how people can tell ages of knives bases on the handle According to the Wickersham TIMELINE, “Light brown ‘thin sheet’ Micarta laminate was first used on RMK knives around 1960, with the darker brown block Micarta showing up in 1964 through 1966 on the models RMK #14/15/16. Originally screwed in place and covered with ‘filled hole’ Micarta dust and epoxy, by late 1966 only epoxy was being used.” ==================================================================== Originally Posted By: Tattoo Bill Steve, that knife is fantastic! Thanks T.Bill—I welcome that comment from an owner of such great Randalls! ==================================================================== Originally Posted By: thevalueman Hold on Steve!!! You got me on that!! BUT, you know what I was say'n.... :-)Rocky Yup, Rocky, I do know what you were say’n. _________________________ -Steve RKCC CM-066 RKS #258

JE6245 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 01/02/14 Posts: 1064 Loc: Tallahassee FL	There is a saying along the lines of "first, buy the book". Along those lines I think the Wickersham and Gaddis books are must-haves for a Randall collector or owner or just someone who wants to know more. Wickersham has more eye candy pics but still a lot of good information. Gaddis has only B/W pics but more detailed information. Prices on those books vary widely so shop around. Edit -- Sorry, almost forgot about Mr. Tunefink's web site that has a ton of good RMK information. Here's the link: http://www.knifetalkforums.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=122768#Post122768 If that doesn't work just use the link from his post above.
