He was a huge influence in my early years of the Randall Life. He sold me our 2nd Randall, a 28 for my son, influenced the direction of our collection, and saved my rear end on a couple that would not have passed the real deal test!

He will be greatly missed by many.... but positively affected so many more! RIP!

Met Perry about 7 years ago at a Spirit of Steel knife show. He, Big Jim and I had a good visit outside of the venue around a picnic table. The main thing I took away from our visit was he made me feel like I had known him for years. We didn't really talk about knives. We just talked.

Just want to say 2 things:
1) Thanks to those who have contributed today. We are off to a great start with over $300 already!
2) Thanks for the kind words and remembrances of my good friend. If a man can be judged by how he is remembered, we are eulogizing one of the best!
Keep it coming. There are members of this forum who have not ever had the pleasure of knowing Perry Miller. These testimonials may very well be all they will ever know and take away from here about Perry.
Deepest thanks, Capt. Chris

A number of years ago Perry and I flew to Tulsa for the largest gun/knife show I had ever seen. This show is held twice a year. No excuses, put it on your must do list! Had an incredible time meeting friends of Perry's. One that really stood out was the one and ONLY Paul Bausch. He was a buyer for A G Russell for a number of years. Vast knowledge of anything edge related. It was amazing to see how much food/drink those two could put away!! In memory of Perry let's eat a sausage biscuit or two and carry a muskrat pocket knife daily. RIP

I just heard from Linda (Perry' sister). There will be a celebration of life, in memory of Perry, held at the Titusville American Legion / Post 1 on Saturday, August 16th...5:00 PM. I know of no other details yet, but will let you know what I know as soon as I know.
Thanks, Capt. Chris
PS: There has been a great deal going on behind the scenes for Perry's family. I have had donation offers from several folks, including an offer of a Randall knife from Gary Randall. I will get all of this sorted out next week. I think we will run one "Marathon Raffle", bundling all of the donated goods into one pool! Let me know your thoughts...CCS

Sad news. I had hoped to meet Perry during my travels to Orlando and the Space Coast, but time was too short on all of my abbreviated visits. It sounds like his company was enjoyed by all. RIP.

This is terrible news. I never met him FTF, but we corresponded through email. I bought several knives from him, and he was generous with his knowledge of RMK with me. I will miss him.
