Anything Similar to a Randall 19?

[roshi]

I've always liked the Randall 19 with leather handle, never bought one. The 4.5 inch 1/4 inch thick blade appealed to me as a good all around camp knife.

I can't afford to pay $ 400 to get one "right now" and don't care to wait until 2010 (yeah that's the current wait) to get one for $ 280 from Randall.

Are there any similar knives, production or custom for less than $ 300, better yet much less? Handle material doesn't have to be leather but I don't care for bone or stag.

Closest one I've seen is the Chris Reeve skinner.

Blackjack makes a randall copy with A2 steel. I've found them for around $150.00 or so with several handle options. They are outstanding knives as well.

Martin knives out of Texas makes a similar model as well. I don't own one of those but I hear nothing but good things about them.

Hope that helps, Jim
