Crisco:

You ahve a mid 1940's hunter or skinner in a very nice Hesiser sheath. The knife from the photo at first glance looks to be a Model 4 (skinner) but does have some Model 3(hunter) characteristics.
Knife could be older than the sheath. Knife is worth maybe $1,500 or maybe more , who knows in todays market.I do not know what the other knife is.

Hi and welcome, Crisco

It's always nice to see a new poster with an old Randall, especially one with a sense of humor. I put it ~ mid '46 (when translucents started) through the end of '47(when translucents and 5 1/2" Model 3's were discontinued). I'm thinking $2K give or take on e-bay because the condition leaves quite a bit to be desired. Your mileage may vary because you use Imperial gallons. grin

Are there any markings on the other knife?

Best

Crisco,

I already answere this question when you posted this Randall knife on the British Blades Forum about a month ago. I also included a value of c.$2,000 at that time.

DO NOT play the newbie with these guys, they will eat you alive.

Jim Taylor.

The best advice I can give you is to take some smaller, proper photos of the package that can be viewed, along with a ruler or tape measure next to the blade. The whole thing is so out of proportion right now I can't tell what I'm looking at. I even tried emailing the photos to myself, reducing them, etc. Still didn't help.
Best, Capt. Chris

Greetings to all,

As per the Captain's suggestion, here are new photos
of my Model 13-6 Randall. Hopefully these will be easier
to view.

Looking for vintage, and perhaps value or any thing the
experts can tell me about this beautiful knife.

I have owned for about 25 to 30 years.

Thanks in advance for any info, even if it's bad. ie bad shape
damaged etc.

How about the sheath? Perhaps a photo of the pair from each side (front & back). That would help. So far...It looks like a mini!
Best, Capt. Chris

Man, what a great idea, so simple yet I don't think of it,
will do.

Main question is why is it all the model 13's I see online
have the little cutouts on the blade next to the hilt.
Yet on mine the blade goes straight to the hilt?

Thanks again. Give me a few minutes to repost.
