Here are my 2 newest #14 that I purchased at the shop sale this year. Model#1 is my favorite butt this model is becomming a close 2nd. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Whoa!
Pretty cool, Jimmy!
I especially like that green micarta SFG handle.
Enjoy!

That's a great looking pair of knives Jimmy. Thanks for sharing.

Jimmy, Very nice, is the one a G 10 handle? I didn't know that was a shop supplied handle material.

Thanks for the comments and yes the handle is G10 Jade according to the paperwork that was sent with it. I am not sure if this material is from RMK or a customer supplied G10 that they could not end up paying for after being built. Thanks, Jimmy

Jimmy,
Great looking Model #14's. I hope you don't mind, but I resized all 3 from over 100kb to just "under" 100kb. Hopefully everyone will be able to see them now.
Best, Capt. Chris

Thanks for the help Captain Chris.

Those are some great looking knives Jimmy. Thanks for sharing.

I was in the 5th Special Forces in Vietnam, 1967-end 1968. In early 1967, ordered a type 14 Randall. My knife was delivered after about a 9 month wait just before I left for Vietnam. I think it had a Solingen blade though it may have been carbon (lots of discussion about it at the time... cost was about $65 or so... about 1/2 months pay), and I think I had my name on one side. Why do I “think?”… because leaving Vietnam a hand carry bag with my Randall, 12 rolls of film, many keepsakes including 9mm pistol that was “lost” or stolen.

I can never replace the mementos. But… after the passage of 40 plus years, I decided to buy another Randall… not necessarily as a collector (I collect far too many things now), but more for the memory. So… I bought this one. It looks like a reasonable facsimile to the one I took to Vietnam except without the Solingen blade. (Note: Viet-period Special Forces REQUIRED personal artifacts: Randall knife, Rolex watch, star-saphire ring, engraved Zippo lighter, Montagnard brass bracelet).

I apologize about the pedestrian nature of this knife, compared to some of the beauties displayed in this line. From the picture does a provenance of late-1960s, early-1970s seem reasonable? Thanks for any feedback, and thanks for the beautiful creations displayed.

Very cool #14. Not pedestrian at all!
Someone more knowledgeable than me will post about the vintage ... I think it could be as late as late 70s - early 80s?
Thanks for posting and welcome to the Forums!
By the way ... Someone I know in my neighborhood was in SF, in Vietnam,
and I only recently asked him if he knew about or owned a Randall Knife.
His eyes lit up and yes, he said ... he still has it! We'll be getting together soon
and I'll write up a little story for the RKS newsletter and the Forums, and get
some photos. Stay tuned.
