Hi.
As a new guy in Randall collecting I was wondering what the first Randall knife was for you. I would appreciate photos of them if you have :-) Thank's.

My first is a #1-7" that was given to me by my father, and which has my father's name etched on the blade:





The sheath that is shown is a replacement sheath. I still have its original sheath, which is shown below:

My first model was this Smithsonian Bowie. The DVDs are from a 1950's TV show.

This was my first, and is still a favorite. I ordered it in 1962 or 1963, I think. Had to replace the sheath in the early 1970's when the original was badly water damaged and rotted. The "new" one is a waxed sheath in hopes that it will be more water-resistant.

Steve, every time I see that knife I am reminded that it is one of my top 10 favorite RMKs in existence.

My first Randall was actually two - my #23 standard and my #14 standard. They are still my favorites.
