samg Knife Enthusiast Registered: 05/04/08 Posts: 533 Loc: North Carolina	Hi guys, I have a couple of questions about a non catalog knife. Does anyone know if: 1) Randall still make the tri-athlete? 2) What it sells for at the shop? 3) Do they use stock removal method of making, or forging? 4) What do you think of this knife? Thanks, and I hope everyone is having a great Independence day.

I think it's the best neck knife Randall makes. And, if you don't want to neck-carry, but want something that's flat and light, it does that, too! Here's a picture of both sides of mine, also showing two sheaths. The bottom sheath is the standard one that comes with the knife, and the top is the neck sheath, a special order from Greg Gutcher. The "button" on it (left side) fits nicely into one of the holes in the handle to keep the knife in the sheath. -Steve Attachments 42047-Triathlete.jpg (377 downloads)

Holzinger258 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 1817 Loc: The Desert Southwest	You're right, Chief. I've seen a few with ivory, and would consider doing the same, if the scales are thin enough so the knife still fits nicely into the standard sheath. -Steve

Gamble Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/21/05 Posts: 182 Loc: NY	Hi Steve, unless the scales are paper thin, the standard sheath will not work. Its just too tight with anything extra. Incidentally here is a link to an Ivory one I did up myself. Enjoy! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:IT&ih=016 _________________________ Gamble RKS# 4504
