JE6245 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 01/02/14 Posts: 1064 Loc: Tallahassee FL	Originally Posted By: Rufus Smith Thank you very much! I just ordered a Model 1-8 with black micarta, Nickel Steel Collar and Butt Cap, Sawteeth, Engraving and a Black Sheath. What I would really like to get is a Vietnam Era Model 1-8 but I have no idea where to begin looking. On the 'Nam era 1-8, if it were me, I would put something in the want to buy section of this forum. I expect that there are folks here who may have what you're looking for. I would definitely not try to buy one on eBay unless you really know what you're doing. There are folks here you can trust to sell you the real deal. Not necessarily the case on the eBay where sellers may or may not know what they're doing and may or may not be honest. _________________________ Jim E. “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” – Yogi Berra Me 2020

I have a Model 1 - 7 stag, 1966 on ebay, but it isn't the 8" you want. I know Capt. Chris had a nice one, but I think he sold it. max Edited by maxpastor (01/12/16 04:53 PM) _________________________ "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Wally Knife Enthusiast Registered: 07/08/06 Posts: 2444	Here's Mitchells (tunefinks) website. I'm pretty sure he has what you're looking for. Better to deal with a forum member too, that everyone knows and comes well recommended. Some of his knives may not be listed on his website, so check with him! www.randallmadeknife.com _________________________ Wally

[quote] Thanks Max but I believe Rufus is the one looking for the VN era 1-8. I have recently started getting interested in the "vintage" Randalls but am leaning more towards the hunters than the fighters for some reason.

Rufus Smith Knife Enthusiast Registered: 01/03/16 Posts: 10 Loc: North Carolina	Thanks to everyone for the guidance and advice on finding a vintage 1-8. I purchased one Friday along with a new 1-8. I will post pictures as soon as I receive them. Thank you Mitchell for all of your assistance. I cannot believe that 4 weeks ago, I did not own a Randall and now I have 3. Talk about getting in your blood. Edited by Rufus Smith (01/18/16 08:59 PM)
