UPS brought this yesterday. Ordered March 2002, #5 Camp and Trail with 8" blade, double brass handguard, stag handle with compass.   Here she is with her older sister, a Randall #1-8

I was a little disappointed in my last randalls. There were still a lot of grind marks in the blade that should have been removed in the polishing process. I know that I'm being picky, but I waited 4 years on 3 knives, and 2 of them I considered below par for a custom shop knife. I know randall builds knives to be "users", and the marks don't affect the usability, but if you wait 4 years and pay premium prices, you expect a premium product. Randall didn't even seem to care. "If you don't like them just send them back and we will give you your money back" I don't think so after waiting that long. Even being disappointed, I will still prob buy more, as the investment alone is worth it. If you like a slightly smaller fighter, check out the 5" Combat Companion. It isn't in the standard catalog. It is a sweet little knife (just don't look at the blade too close under good light)!! |
