Here are a couple of #10 3 inchers with different handles and blade grinds.

Hey, good score Rob, glad you found what you were looking for! I did a post on Model #20's ta'other day, and was going to do one on Model #10's too once a few 'new, old stock' pieces arrive, hopefully someday soon...I'll post 'em here instead. :thumbup:

I like 'em both. Those little three-inchers are one of the few Randalls that are legal for me to carry, too. Nice stuff.

I like those models too, I like the top one the best! :thumbup:

Randall Model #10 'Salt Fisherman & Household Utility' knives currently come in 3", 5", and 7" blade lengths - although, in the past, while not cataloged, both 4" & 6" versions were made and sold through the Randall Shop.

These three have the 5" blade length, with the two having Walnut and Black Micarta handle scales being from the 1970's; the aluminum handled variant is from the 1960's. All three are 'as new', and unused...

Although always and only made with stainless steel blades, prior to the very late 1960's, no steel type indicator, i.e. an 'S', was used - by the early 1970's, all new production Model #10's had either a horizontally stamped blade with an integral S, or an S etched next to the right side of the RMK logo...

Beginning in 1979, the logo stamp was angled down slightly to the right...
