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.
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.
Are there any markings on the other knife?
Best

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.

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
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.
