Thanks Scott, I love the Randall made Oddballs of the 70's and 80's.

Ronnie, U are sooooo correct about Pete, if he didn't know the answer... U got one anyways!!


Scott,

So the ones that were made, were they special order? I'm a bit unclear how these came to be. Thanks in advance.

No special orders...we were just screwing around! We still do, but now they end up in the museum!

Just hoping you start screwing around a bit more often, LOL

Yes, Warren, but winding up with one of those oddballs would be about as rare as winning the lottery. Still kicking myself for passing up the chance to buy an 18/15.

Got a point there. Rare examples are always something to behold. Gotta have spirit, money and b...s to pull the trigger.

Regarding the Bowie-clip 14/18 that I showed Pete, I found an entry about it.

At the time, Pete was able to find five (5) knives in the records he had that were made for Jack Crider.

Not to say they did not make more than five, but that is all Pete came up with.

I'd like to know how many 15/18s were made with a Bowie clip. This is the only one I've seen.

When did the threaded brass butt-cap come around?

At the Tulsa G&K show the weekend after Easter, I saw a *lot* of M18s with crutch tips.

I always wondered how many of them were threaded inside the handle if spectators were allowed to fondle the knives and remove the black tip.
