Very nice. I really love the history, and story behind these knives. I vote for baseball, hotdogs and mom’s apple pie served up with a Randall knife.

 

[opaul]

I couldn’t help myself and picked up the ‘85 model 15.

I think it’s BatteryOaks Billy’s fault.

I do love all my Randalls...and several get used a good bit....several do not also.....Today along in the mail come my latest Inside The Gates knife. @opaul was kind enough to undertake this project for me...I have used [abused] for 25 years or so a Randall #1 Mini...I always loved it but the handle was 3/4 inch too short....YEP...the story of my life..anyway, Paul sorted out that problem with his version of my Mini with the Correct length handle. Thanks so much Paul...you Never let me down....if life could only be that way all the time...I'm like Granny Clampet...I never asked for but One thing in life...MY WAY!!!

I would have picked it up as well. Beautiful vintage treasure.
Does it have the exposed tang on top of the handle?

The Solingen knives have come on in value in the last 5 years....20 years ago they were a hard sale....Perfect condition to USE!

OK...I didn't expect this.

I just met up with opaul to give him a small stack of Cocobolo I thought would make some nice scales for his works of art. I've in mind a knife or two to commission sometime in the future.

Lookee at this work of art he gifted me in return!

Imma have to keep this away from my boy or he'll nab it for sure!

(A future knife will be for him. THIS one is MINE!)

I love that knife - haven’t ran across one at a time I have had the extra money - congrats

Yes indeed, unlined thong as well

You did well! Was it the knife lady that normally sets up in the NW corner of the building? Is it a model 15? I think they are called Airman knives.

 

[opaul]

On eBay.

No, was a guy in middle of the show, I do believe that eBay listing is a little rich lol
