I agree guys, it's not a perfect fit for the thread label, but I want to error on the side of more posts than less posts.....so as Cap said, it's okay if it gets back on track.

BTW.....it's nice to see Ron posting.

It could also be older than mentioned, Cap. Check out the 12-8 from ~ 1964 on page 19 of this thread and let me know what dating differences you see between that knife and the OP's knife. In a case like this, the sheath is the best tell. The OP's sheath is tight stitched:

Then ask your BFF who he comes to if he's not sure about the age of an old Randall. Just sayin' grin

PS to Tune: Thanks. It's always a pleasure...

Ron, Ron, Ron:
"THAT'S" why I stated I didn't "quite" agree with your dating. Older or newer, especially without seeing better pics of the package including the back of the sheath, I wouldn't/couldn't get so date-specific.
Best (and yes: It "is" good to see you posting),
Capt. Chris
PS: Perry calls on me, Crutch and several of us old "crusties"...CCS

Getting back on track:

Here are a few pics of one of the first stilleto's that Bo ever made. So early, it doesn't even have a Randall stamp!:







This knife is now in the capable hands of Brother Dorsky. Joe has a nice writeup about it on his website. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a visit.

Thanks, Guido. If that that old warrior could talk, I'd sure be listening.

Best,

Wow - crazy! crazy
This is the first aluminum handled one I've seen (except for the Model 10s, of course) I guess the shop didn't do this very often laugh
