A big thank you to every one who has joined into these threads and made them a huge success!

Buxton fighter was created in 1996 whenever Mr. Wayne Buxton visited the Randall shop to create his own Dealer Special. The whole ordeal only took ten minutes and the knife design was settled. Mr. Buxton knew what he wanted when he walked in the door. He wanted a fighter in a 6 ½ inch blade with a full tang and a stainless blade. Then Gary Randall said that back in the 60’s they would extend the tang out past the butt and call it a scull crusher well that went over well with Mr. Buxton. Gary Randall next asked what type of hilt do you want and Mr. Buxton said that he liked nickel silver in the #1 style and would like a Border patrol handle style and a bowie clip. So the deal was struck.

Ladies and gentlemen could we please see some Buxton Fighters!!

Jesse,
No Buxton Fighters to show just yet but I have two (maybe three, I loose count) due in soon. They will be different than any I have seen.
When they do show up I will post them here.

Here is one of my Buxton Fighters, which has a nickel silver forward curved hilt and red/black micarta single finger grip handle:



I am expecting a standard-configuration one to arrive today, purchased direct from Wayne Buxton.

I visted with Mr. Buxton in his shop for about an hour yesterday.
He is a real mans' man and a quality person. He always has some great Randall lore!

Tom, RE: Wayne Buxton. No surprise about this Texan.
You have probably heard the old quote "Never ask a man if he is from Texas, if he isn't he will be embarrassed, and if he is, he will tell you soon enough!"
