It's a "lot" more than you think. I have many...many customers in their 20's and 30's. "AND"...If you think Randall collectors are old, attend a "Colt" Collectors Assoc. show sometime. Makes me look like a kid!
Best, Capt. Chris

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 smile

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.

I'm not calling everyone old, you are as old as you feel! I truly believe that.

I hope Randall Knives are collected even after we invent the lightsabre! I'll take mine with Border Patrol Green micarta grin

Although it doesn’t surprise me, it’s good to hear there is a diverse group of Randall collectors -- there will always be a group that appreciates top-notch craftsmanship. Being new-er to this forum, I look forward to meeting some of its members at the Atlanta Blade Show this coming June.

To address the topic… my default is set to stainless.

Age is a state of mind.
Period.
I've been skiing with a 79 year old man and bored to death with a 30 year old fart.
...State of Mind!

I sort of like the old SSA so I guess that makes me old. I also like most of the Randall's old or new.
