Was going to do a thread on using Randalls but ran across this pic.


Pictured is a Sig P229 40/357 Sig with a lot of miles on it.
Right below it is one of the first 1200-1500 Pre-Patent Buck 184's. I bought that knife new when I was 18.
Below that is a current standard Randall 14 with no story yet.

Next we have a Randall 14 with a sawback blade and a nickel silver hilt.



This 4" S&W 29 44 magnum Shipped in 1966 (the year I was born). It has a few miles on it but I dont pack it much any more.



Next we have an early S&W Centennial that someone before me parked. It's a little heavy but does regular duty in my pocket.



And the best for last (Insert drumroll here)
The knife in the pic is an early Randall 14 with a Solingen blank blade. It was purchased new in 1965 by a Marine right before shipping out to SEA. He spent time on rescue choppers and used the knife extensively for 2 tours. I received the knife when I graduated boot camp in 1984 (Army). Some years later my best Friend shipped off to the Gulf for the first sandbox war (Marine). He took that knife that knife with him. He still owns it today as I felt it should stay with a Marine.

Hope you enjoy the pics....lets see yours.
