I suppose there could be several manufacturers and variation of cherry micarta...

Here's one I traded for about 10 years ago.8" SS, Maroon micarta white compass, grey and white spacers.

For those who might know...

Does the Burgundy Micarta darken with age?

Classy looking piece Pat, really nice!

Pat,

You said you traded for; hoping you traded "in". What a beauty; its got it all.
Eye candy!

Pat, I love this knife.

I guess I am a sucker for the red micarta.

Yes, Warren, I traded "in" and still have it. Just finally dug it out to take a look at it. as far as the color of the micarta, it has always been that color since I've had it. I do wonder if the grey spacers were always grey. They have been since I've had it.

could be alum spacers that have oxidized which would look grey. I bet Scott would know.

Pat,

I have a number of knives with grey spacers. They never started that way. Both blue and reds faded over time. I always thought of it as age patina. In any case, that's a great rig.

Thanks, for the props, guys.
Here's another one. This is the second Randall I ever bought. I bought it from The Good Captain at a local gun show back when he used to trek this far north. It was sometime around 94 or 95 I think. As for a little perspective regarding another thread about Randall values, it was one of the more expensive knives on his table at $315. I think I could make a modest profit were I to decide to sell it. (which I wouldn't)
