Outstanding IW and great shot of the blade, shaded properly to show those terrific lines!

when did randall start making the gamblers. i have two of them

If I recall, it was the early 1980's. But Mr. Bowles, the designer, will surely give you a more accurate date.

The Randall catalog only seems to mention a 4" Gambler. This thread shows "mini" and "regular" Gamblers. What is the 4" one considered and is that the only one available these days?

Chris
The two Gamblers are available, the small is 4 inch and large 5 inch. Small is only stainless steel, large is standard in tool steel and optional stainless steel.
If you go here on the Randall web site you can see that they offer both.

You may want to talk to a dealer to find out what options are available and standard.

Information I have recieved from a large dealer seems to indicate that the gambler comes standard with a stacked leather handle, did I get this right? I have never seen one and none seem to be posted here. Is there any out there? Pictures? Thanks

Carbon / leather are standard. All other handles are available.

I just received this large Gambler yesterday, and I think it is pretty classy. It sports a stainless blade, nickel silver collar, Ivorite handle, solid nickel silver butt cap and a black left hand sheath. The nickel silver butt gives it quite a nice heft.

My other Gamblers decided to pose with their new brother also. You can see I am fond of this model

Peter

That's a very classy addition to your other Gamblers.

Peter, Great collection. I see you have enough to carry one for every day of the week.
