Bo Randall and some of his methods in a short video

[AVigil]

take a look at how Bo made his knives.

I will wait for the screams "You can use a bench grinder" LOL

Bill Moran used a big emery wheel to do his rough grinding. Those early Randalls were not pretty like the ones that they make today. The story that I heard was that when Bob Loveless showed up, everyone, including Randall, had to up their fit and finish game.

Not too many folks can throw a blade with that kind of force! That fella knew his stuff.

I love old school videos like these! Good stuff.

I've refurbished a few old Randalls from the 40s' & 50s' for a friend who collects them. They are very well made knives, just not as highly finished as they are today. Cool old video!

Too bad they are vandalized by some jackass with all those watermarks all over the video

I swear that narrator is in every old school video/documentary that came out back then, and they had the same sound track for everything

Reminded me of the old Disney vids from the 60's-70's

I didn't see or hear Snow White in there anywhere! ... It is funny how many older shop films like this had similar sound tracks.. Thanks for posting this!

When I was watching I had the urge to get under my desk and put my head between my knees, followed by the conflicting desire to stop, drop and roll.
