The Tri and the #10's used to be shorter...... but no more.

I'm seeing about a 6 month wait on the Tri's I have been ordering the last couple of years. About the same time frame on the 10s also.
Ordering through dealers, not shop ordered.

Direct from the shop Mike? I thought they had went to the same delivery as the standard models.

I edited to note these were dealer ordered knives. You're fast!!

Sorry.....

Dealer orders are the only way to go!

Beg to differ with you there Bill. It's not the only way..

I think Bill means for "speed" it is.
I have knives on order which is great, but I also really enjoy checking dealer stock or seeing the Capt. at various shows and getting to see what I am purchasing before I commit. And the shop sales as well, but those make it harder to get "exactly" what you want, but people seem to pull great treasure's from them just the same. It is all personal preference really.

Absolutely! If you want a NEW Randall in a quick time, go to a Dealer. If you want USED knives, eBay is the best solution.

I have knives coming from Captain Chris Stanaback and Buck Buchannan (Fayetteville Arms Room) this month. I have also purchased approx. 100 Randall's used in 2015.

What's the difference between "new" fresh from the shop.......and a knife that is bought from someone other than the shop or an authorized dealer, but is in dead mint condition? Both would seem to carry the same value and be considered "unused".
