No one has mentioned this yet..... but when it comes to 60's and early 70's knives, a "separate S" stamp is much more desirable than a carbon blade. Of course the current stamp is not a separate S.
I don't know what the collector market will be in 2051.....just a thought.
I often wonder what the demand will be like in the future for Randalls. It seems many of the collectors are older, at least on this board. I do not know how many younger people like myself are into Randall knives, I hope it is more than I think!
Ben,
Give my 11 year old grandson a Model # of an RMK and ask him what page of the catalog you can find it listed on. You will get the right answer. Knows the catalog better than I do. I think that's being "into" them
Sitting with the Capt. at the gun shows and watching the younger generation in there, I believe that they will be into them, just like we were and are now.
Wth the war going on overseas, their interest seems to run more towards the military or tactical styles of knives. But I believe as they mature, and the war winds down it will be interesting to see if they continue along those same avenues.
