Anyone know what happened to "The" Bradford Angier Model 5 that was Mr. Angier's?

Also, can anyone post the excerpt from his book where Mr. Angier discusses his Randall knife?

oldguy, I'm not trying to hijack your thread...just trying to keep it alive.


Bradford Angier (1910-1997)

I have a copy of on your own in the wilderness it's from the fifty's but I cannot find where he talks about his randall but it seems there is a very old randall pictured. I have posted this picture before on the forum

I posted this some time ago I think, this is from the American Rifleman

Peter, Thanks for the posting about Bradford Angier Knife. Does not get much better than a pre 64 Model 70 & a Randall Made knife. Walt

Thanks for posting that Peter.

I have read that article before, but that is good reading. Thank-you Peter for posting it. I enjoyed reading it again....

The Photo above is not a photo of Bradford Angier (it is miss-labeled in some links in the google search for Bradford Angier like this one:

The photo is actually of his friend and neighbor on the Peace River, "Deadly" or "Dudley" Shaw, more properly Reginald Withers Shaw.

See this link:

"Deadly" or "Dudley" Shaw got his name from using the word 'Deadly" a lot.

"His nickname arose because he used "deadly" as an adjective--as a synonym for "awful," usually referring to the quality of camp food."

Bradford Angier was a much younger man when he wrote many of his early books. I have read several of them. I think he had published about 35 different ones but a lot of info was repeats of info in other books earlier written.

In the picture it looks like it is a carbon steel blade. I always thought it may have been stainless.

Tom, thanks for clearing up the photo. Anyone have a photo of the real Bradford Angier?

Also, Tom, in all the Angier books you have read, does he ever mention his Randall knife by name or is it just a known fact that he carried a Randall? I was under the impression that he wrote about it in one of his books.

Peter, thanks for reposting the article. I noticed that he still doesn't credit Randall Knives, although he does Winchester, Marbles, and several other brands. Wonder why??
