From page #119 of our Randall Knives reference book - a late 1970's/early 1980's (spacers) Model #1-6, SS, brass on brass, killer stag, and dead mint...



Unfortunately, a knife that we no longer own...had to pay for the printing cost somehow...

Cutup, If one of your kids was doing a geneology report on your family, wouldn't it help if they knew the doctors name that delivered you, what hospital you were born in (or maybe what kind of taxi on the way)? Wouldn't it also be important for them to know the day, week, month, and year that you took your first breath?

If you took the average 50-70 year old man off the street, and just by what he was wearing and the cut of his jib,would you be able to pin down his birthday within a few months? If you could, some might consider you a genius, or at least a wizard.

The more you get into the collecting and lore of RMK, you may want to even know the three generations that have been hands-on involved in their manufacture, and maybe even go see the place where they have been hand-made for the last 70 years?

Just some thoughts.

Here's a favorite model #1. It too should elicit some comments.

Matt,

Welcome aboard! I too don't know who's right or wrong. I just know.."Boy, that's a old knife, and great pictures to boot"

I have learned much from both of these "debators"

Rick that's nice old model. Did you do the scrim on it when it was relatively new?

Here's some model 1's... none very old, but an assortment of handles in 7" and 8" blade lengths (note: the one on the botttom is a special #1).

Kevin,

Great thread. Thank you for your many contributions to this forum.

Here's an animated image in your honor. In the words of Pauly Shore from the movie Son-In-Law... "Everybody do the fun-ky chick-en!" (from the scene with the barn dance when he took over the mic for square dance calling).



I really don't know how the dancing chicken is associated with a congratulations, I just like the way it looks. I will make this the new honorary "VKLough Award" for outstanding threads. (I hope I got your name right on the engraved base ).

Very nice knife Rick.
The Model 1 looks good dressed up.
