You never know what might be available at the shop sale.
From unclaimed orders, mistakes, experiments to new configurations like the copper companion and the copper mini #27 that the shop unveiled a couple of years ago.
You'll always find one that you didn't know about but now you can't live without.

Ha gotta come and come early
Usually I ride my scooter there after Church
and at Noon Sunday I could a been a #7

But its hard to sleep on a motorcycle
so I go home and come back after dinner
and the Old Lady says "where you goin with that pillow and blanket and I say the Randall Shop and she says take the garbage with you
A guy name Dave gives you a number and he don't work for the shop
Thanks Dave He's like #3 someone beat him there

We sit around and tell stories about knives and guns and
then sleep in our vehicles some campers, trucks and cars

at sun up we sneak into the orange grove to water the crops
and at about 15 before 7 we advance to the store
Dave conducts a civil order first 12 in then the next
I almost made the first cut but was like 14
and it seams the same guy always beats me there well mostly
the worst feeling is watching the guy infront of you buy your knife but its nice to see a newbie get what he never dreamed about
so I usually sneak in and take some pics so I can see what I'm missin

So is it worth it! Well if you want a 12-9 with a 14 grind or a Arkansas toothpick or some strange burly wood or crown stag
it is

Oh and here are pics to prove it

I doubt I will be able to actually make it in person anytime soon but how does the call-in work? I know you keep dialing 'till you make a connection but how do you know what to ask for? Do they keep naming what they have until you say "I'll take it?"

Jim, you need to ask for what you are looking for. Write down a short list of things you're interested in so you can expedite the process, and they in turn will tell you what they have that is similar.

In years past half the knives go to the cases for the walk ins and the other half are for the call ins. If you are going in person before 6:30am Monday, when you get there pull into the driveway and park your car at the back of the line and walk to the front and find the fine gentleman Dave with the note pad or find it on the first car and sign in. If you leave you will lose your place in line. Come early and come prepared to make new friends. At about 6:30am someone from the shop will open the gate so you can drive on back to the shop and park. Dave will give you a slip of paper with your # on it according to when you signed in. You will also be given an order form to fill out with your address and billing info. At 7:00am they will call #s 1-5 to go in and pick one knife, and then #6-10 gets their chance and so on. Once all #s have gone through once it will start over again till all knives are gone. The knives will be shipped to you in a few weeks. Call ins start at 7:00am. After you pick out your knife its then time to tour the Museum. Hope this helps.

Dennis,
Only the ones that missed their ideal knife are "mourning". For the rest, it's just morning! (Ha-Ha: You're busted)! I will be there around 6:30-7:00ish and look forward to seeing all of you. I will set up my usual small table outside for some "sharing" of stuff from my "STASH"!!
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris

He is always there and he is really loud!!! ha,ha. That is a joke. Sorry Mike.

For those our you that don't know Mike, he is nicest, most soft spoken person you will ever meet.

Ok.... ummmmmmmmmm.... I guess that makes me look dumb for posting that...
