Just one more point. Even if it is "production", most of the line still has each blade forged to shape. Not done with the stock removal process that "custom" makers use to make their knives. For the amount of hand labor involved, Randalls are still some of the best user knives for the money, compared to what custom makers, who forge their knives, charges.
