Thanked: 160 Randall Knives
I was very fortunate to obtain 3 of these beauties. A Model 5 "Camp and Trail"; a Model 8 "Trout and Bird" and, specifically designed for Florida, the Denmark Special. Each has a unique purpose. They are all I could ever want or ever need.

I love my Trout and Bird. Beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I know that it's collectible and has gained value since I bought it many years ago but I sort of regret never using the thing. My wife will probably sell it for $5 at the garage sale when I croak.

Yes, there are cheaper knives with faster delivery but
it is The Randall Bowie.

That’s a piece of knife making art. Gorgeous.

Randall's are nice knives. They were one of the few inspirations to a young knifemaker when I started making knives 30 years ago (back before the days of the internet in every home). I used O1 on many knives due to him. The other influential guys in my life were Bob Loveless, Bill Moran, David Boye, Mike Mann and Mike Igo. Of these, I think that David Boye, Mike Mann and Mike Igo are still alive and making knives. Sadly, I don't have any of their knives.
